This book presents current research on the benefits as well as the
risks of fish consumption. The health benefits discussed include
the reduction of cardiovascular disease, the decreased risk of
various malignancies, specifically, colorectal, breast, prostate
and lung cancers. Public perceptions of both the benefits and risks
of self-caught fish by people in the coastal estuaries of New York
and New Jersey are also presented. Contaminants that accumulate in
the tissue of the fish and the associated risks are examined as
well. This book presents new emerging health problems being linked
to shellfish consumption. New studies are included on fish
consumption in reproductive-aged women as related to foetal health.
Finally, since there is a reduced availability of fish in an ever
increasing world population, the possibility that the health
benefits of eating fish can be obtained by largely vegetable
sources is discussed.
