FRDC's Seafood Health and Nutrition Projects

Much scientific information on the health benefits of eating seafood is accumulating. Projects funded by the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation have further advanced this area of research. FRDC project 1996/340, Enhanced usage of contemporary scientific findings on health benefits of seafood to promote fresh seafood consumption, collated and distilled the results of a broad collection of scientific research on the health benefits of seafood. The project established a clear path from the original research to the statements in What's so healthy about seafood? This publication presents the findings in a format suitable for communication to the general public.
