Introduction

OUR food habits have developed through tradition, instinct and experience over several centuries. With the increase in knowledge about different foods and progress in several disciplines, such as biochemistry, endocrinology, microbiology and physiology, nutrition has developed as a science.

It is now known that most natural foods are incomplete and unbalanced. Lack of certain elements in food can cause certain diseases. Protein plays a specific role in nutrition, besides providing energy. It also provides structural material for growth while replacing the worn and injured tissues; its deficiency leads to depletion of plasma protein causing oedema. The importance of protein in nutrition can be gauged from the fact that the overall malnutrition in the world is equated with the deficiency of protein.

Fish provides high class protein comparable to any other animal protein. Fish protein is rich in lysine. It also helps regeneration of blood haemoglobin. Moreover, it is a good source of nicotinic acid, minerals and vitamin 'D'.

Due to constraints on land it is not easy to increase the availability of animal protein. However, the spectacular richness of water-resources is yet to be harvested, which can easily fulfil the food and protein requirements of the world. Human population is growing at a very fast pace. In some regions, they have far outstripped food supplies. Majority of the population in the world is undernourished and suffers from malnutrition. Caloritic content of the diet, which is considerably below the required level, erodes human health.
