Summary

Background Fish and shellfish are valuable sources of high-quality protein, vitamins, and minerals. Their nutrient density and price vary by species. Objectives This study aimed to determine nutrient density and nutrient affordability per unit cost of fish and shellfish in the FAO/INFOODS uFISH database. Methods Two versions of the Nutrient Rich Food (NRF) index were constructed. The NRF was based on a positive subscore, NRn, and a negative subscore, LIM. The NR6 subscore was the sum of percent daily values (%DV) for 6 priority micronutrients widely identified to be lacking
