Resumen
Descripción
Pacific Small Island Countries (PICs) are unique in terms of geographical location, isolated and have limited diversity of food. Fish is the main source of protein. Although the amount and type of fish consumed varies based on factors such as geographical location and socio-economic status. Average national fish consumption ranges between 55 kg to 110 kg per person per year. This is almost 3–6 times the average global consumption of <20 kg per person per year. There are few challenges including limited data on fish consumption trend, poor cold chain management, depletion of fish resources and food safety.
