  • RESEARCH BRIEFINGS

An analysis of the nutritional content of aquatic invertebrate species suggests that their global production is a rich source of nutrients that are crucial for human health. The work provides a foundation for better recognition of these valuable invertebrate nutrients and incorporate them into conservation, management and policy efforts.
