Seafood Global Trade: Turning the Oceanic Wealth into World’s Favourite Nutrient Gold 

When we think of seafood, our minds instantly go to the fish from the oceans. However, seafood is not at all limited to just that. There are approximately tens of thousands of different varieties of seafood available worldwide. If asked in simple terms, seafood is simply sea life in any form that can be eaten by humans. Some of the most common types of seafood include lobster, shrimp, salmon, oysters, and mussels. In Asia, seaweeds and microalgae are widely consumed as sea vegetables. The cultivation and farming of seafood is called aquaculture or fish farming. 

The earliest known seafood can be pushed back to around 165,000 years ago, when a bowl full of edible shellfish was found on the southern coast of South Africa. Another evidence of this dates back to the old Stone Age (10,000 to 50,000 years ago), when the skeleton remains of a Tianyuan man from eastern Asia (a 40,000-year-old modern human) were analysed, which showed that he had regularly consumed freshwater fish. Some other discarded fish bones and cave paintings show that seafood had a major role in survival during ancient times. 


When you have eaten 2 to 3 servings of shellfish or fish every week, you significantly:

  • Lower the risks of stroke, heart disease, and depression
  • Improves skin/bone/joint health, sleep quality
  • Promotes high IQ in infants if taken during pregnancy
  • Strengthens eye health


Despite being the most nutrient-rich food group on Earth, there is still a lot of confusion and myths around the ways of consuming seafood and its benefits. Let's explore whether those are true or false, one query at a time:

Common confusions about seafoodTrue/FalseExplanation
Pregnant or breastfeeding women should avoid seafoodFALSEPregnant or breastfeeding women are encouraged to consume seafood, as a study shows that children developed in this case have an average IQ of 7.7.
Children shouldn't eat seafoodFALSEThat’s entirely false. The nutrients, minerals, and vitamins present in seafood significantly help children in their physical and mental development.
There are mercury present in seafoodPartially trueIn reality, many popular fish found in the ocean, like salmon, shrimp, and cod, do not contain much mercury. And the ones that do are not really dangerous if consumed in the right amount.



Rising Demand for Seafood Boosting its Global Trade Opportunities

Aquaculture has become an increasing source of seafood, especially between 1996 and 2011. The world's aquaculture grew from 26.7 MT to 63.6 MT during this period. This sector is expected to overtake the capture fisheries production in the coming years, which has already been declining since 2011. Hence, the seafood industry is now reaching heights in every part of the world, when it comes to production, consumption, and trade. The USA is the top importer of seafood, which consumes about 90% of the imported seafood regularly. Now, there are a lot of factors that drive the rising demand for seafood all over the world. Those are as follows:


  • Processed or Ready-to-Cook Seafoods: The working population, who are always running short on time, has inclined more towards those kinds of seafood that don't require much time to prepare. This trend has gained a lot of popularity because of growing innovations in product development. Some of the processed seafood is in the form of canned, smoked, or frozen. 


  • Adoption of Pescetarianism: Some of the most consumed fish (salmon, herring, trout) are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. These fatty acids are proven to boost heart and brain health. That is why people are now combining it with a vegetarian diet to improve their health conditions. 


  • Health benefits: Overall, seafood provides a lot of protein, vitamins, and fatty acids, which are crucial for having a balanced diet. The demand for 3 sub-types of seafood is being consumed the most, which are fish, molluscs, and crustaceans (species include lobsters, shrimps, and crabs). These have low calories and a lot of minerals like sodium, calcium, iron, and others. 


The health benefits of seafood is only possible because of the nutrients present in different types of seafood. So, let’s look at the nutrient content of some common seafood mentioned below:
