“…Seafood is an important part of the Seri diet [ 32 ]. Seafood has well-known nutritional and health attributes because it is rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, minerals, and vitamins, and has low saturated fat [ 33 ]. In addition, the Seris community (Punta Chueca) is a small village in which the children are free to move about on foot; they walk to school and play in the street.…”

“…Apart from the mentioned findings, the rest of the results of the AUC-ROCs ranged from 0.50 to 0.68 and were in line with most studies, finding that anthropometric indices have a poor ability to discriminate abnormal lipids levels. In a recent study in children from China ( n = 65,347), the AUC-ROCs for BMI poorly predicted high TC (0.55, CI: 0.53–0.57), high LDL (0.60, CI: 0.57–0.62), low HDL (0.59, CI: 0.58–0.61), and high TG (0.66, CI: 0.65–0.68) [ 33 ]. Furthermore, the last extensive meta-analysis in children and adolescents ( n = 169,630) from the American continent, Europe, Asia, and Africa supports this tendency.…”

The aim of this study was to assess lipid disorders in children from five ethnic groups, both urban and indigenous, from northern and central Mexico. We measured the lipid profile to determine the ability of the body mass index (BMI) to discriminate an abnormally high lipid level using receiving operating characteristics (ROC). We analyzed the association and interaction of obesity and ethnicity with lipid disorders using generalized linear models in 977 children. The highest prevalence of lipid disorders (high TG, high TC, high LDL, high APOB, and dyslipidemia) was found in central Mexico-Mexico City and urban northern Mexico. The BMI performed better at predicting low HDL in Seris, a northern indigenous group (0.95, CI: 0.69–0.85), and Mexico City (0.75, CI: 0.69–0.82), and high LDL in Puebla (central Mexico, 0.80, CI: 0.69–0.85). Obesity significantly (p < 0.05) increases lipid disorders by around two times (OR~2) for almost all lipid markers. Obesity and ethnic interaction increase the lipid disorders by more than five times for different lipid markers and ethnic groups (high total cholesterol OR = 5.31; low HDL OR = 5.11, and dyslipidemia OR = 5.68). Lipid disorders are not restricted to children with high BMIs, but obesity exacerbates these. The emerging lipid disorder risk depends on the ethnic group.

“…Seafood helps people consume critical nutrients such as vitamin B, selenium, iodine, zinc, calcium, phosphorus, copper, and iron as well as the fat-soluble D, and A vitamins. It is an effective protein and energy source possessing a significant nutritive value ( Jayasekara et al ., 2020 ). In comparison to fast food and manufactured meat byproducts, fish and shellfish products seem to be the healthier option among animal products ( Boukid et al , 2022 ).…”

Background: Organic selenium (Sel-Plex®) supplementation holds a considerable promise for improving the effectiveness of fish production. Aim: This experiment was accomplished to judge the potential benefits of Sel-Plex® nutritional additive on growth outcomes, physiological response, oxidative status, and immunity-linked gene expression in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fingerlings exposed to bacterial infection with Aeromonas hydrophila. Methods: Utilizing a basal diet of 30% protein, four experimental diets were prepared, each of which contained Sel-Plex® at concentrations of 0.0, 0.5, 1, and 2 mg/kg, respectively. Three replicates of 20 fish/treatment were used using 240 healthy Nile tilapia fingerlings. Fish were placed in twelve glass aquariums and separated into four groups at random. For the entire span of 8 weeks, diets were admitted to fish at a 3% rate of fish biomass/aquarium. After the feeding trial, pathogenic Aeromonas hydrophila was intraperitoneally injected into fish of each treatment, and fish were observed for fifteen days to track the survival rate after the challenge. Results: Growth performance, physiological response, immunological parameters (Phagocytic activity, Phagocytic index, and Lysozyme), and antioxidant parameters (Catalase, Superoxide dismutase, Malondialdehyde, and Glutathione Peroxidase) were noticeably improved in Sel-Plex® treated groups. Moreover, Sel-Plex® increased gene expression linked with the immune system in the liver (TNF-α, and IL-1β), to growth (IGF-1, and GHr), and antioxidants (SOD, and GSH-Px). Under pathogen-challenge conditions, the employed dietary Sel-Plex® supplementation could successfully lower fish oxidative stress, offering a potential preventive additive for Nile tilapia instead of antibiotics. On the other hand, Sel-Plex® significantly enhanced each of three intestinal morphological measurements (villus width, villus length, and crypt depth), demonstrating the greatest influence on the improvement of intestinal structure overall. In the Nile tilapia control group, the infection with A. hydrophila caused noticeable degenerative alterations in the gut, hepatopancreas, spleen, and posterior kidney. The severity of the lesion was significantly reduced and significantly improved with higher Sel-Plex® concentrations. Sel-Plex® supplemented groups had 100% survival rates among the A. hydrophila-challenged groups. Conclusion: It could be advised to enrich the diets of Nile tilapia fingerlings with 1-2 mg.kg−1 of Sel-Plex® to enhance growth rate, physiological response, immunological reaction, and intestinal absorptive capacity.

“…Fish is a significant nutrient component in the human diet, providing easily digestible high‐quality proteins rich with essential amino acids, and heart‐healthy omega‐3‐fatty acids along with several vitamins and minerals including micro‐nutrients. Food‐fish meets a recognizable share of the nutrient needs of the consumers, above any other single source of food (Jayasekara et al., 2020). The recommended dietary requirement of fish is 28 g per day per person (Willet et al., 2019).…”

Emerging challenges in maintaining marine food‐fish availability and food safety

The marine finfish and crustaceans contribute immensely to human nutrition. Harvesting marine food‐fish to meet the global demand has become a challenge due to reduction of the fishery areas and food safety hazards associated with increased pre‐harvest and post‐harvest contaminations. The causes of low fish availability and contaminations were reviewed following the published literature from 2000 to 2023. The marine fish yields are stressed due to spread of contaminants triggered by rising sea temperatures, transport of microorganisms by marine vessels across the oceans, anthropogenic activities leading to increase in the toxic microorganisms, and the entry of toxic chemicals and antibiotic residues into the seawater through rivers or directly. Processing adds pyrogenic chemicals to foods. The hazardous materials may accumulate in the food‐fish, beyond tolerance limits permitted for human foods. While the research and control measures focus on minimizing the hazards due to pathogenic microorganisms and chemicals in market fish, there is less discussion on the unhealthy changes occurring in the oceans affecting the quantity and quality of food‐fish, and the origins of microbial and chemical contaminations. This review examines the factors affecting availability of wild food‐fish and increased contaminations. It aims to bridge the knowledge gaps between the spread of hazardous agents in the marine environment, and their effects on the food‐fish. Meeting the future human food security and safety through marine fish and fish products may need marine cage farming, introduction of genetically modified high yielding food‐fish, and cultured contaminant free finless fish muscles as options.
