Aquaculture and geochemistry : considerations for food security and safety in Africa

This report explores the value of aquaculture to target food security in Africa, specifically Lake Victoria. This report will highlight the intricate relationship between pollution, nutrient uptake by fish and implications for consumers i.e. Food Security / safety. This will be of interest to aquaculture farmers, regulatory bodies, fish ecologists, nutritionists and Public Health Workers (PHW) in Kenya. Research on aquaculture and related inputs could inform regulatory bodies of the need to monitor fish for nutritional quality, food safety and anthropogenic pollution for Kenya and other countries in Africa rapidly increasing aquaculture production.
