Study recommends consuming more wild fish like mackerel, anchovies, and herring for human health benefits and reducing aquaculture demand for marine resources.

A new study suggests that people should eat more wild fish, such as mackerel, anchovies, and herring, which are often used to feed farmed salmon. These oily fish contain essential nutrients, including calcium, B12, and omega-3, that can benefit human health. However, farmed salmon production leads to an overall loss of essential dietary nutrients, and directly eating more wild 'feed' species could have health benefits while reducing aquaculture demand for finite marine resources.
