| Innovation Title | Predictive analytical and data tools enabling nutrition-sensitive management of fisheries |
| Innovation description | Data for 4500 nutrient measures, 419 fish species, across 45 counties were collated, analysed with ecological traits and used in predictive Bayesian hierarchical models. Real and predicted nutrient values were applied to national fisheries landings to determine nutrient potential of catches relative to malnutrition risks in each country. Model outputs identified where changes to fisheries management, trade and distribution could better address particular nutrition deficiency risks per country. |
