Malnutrition is a critical developmental obstacle in Timor-Leste, with poor maternal health and nearly half of its children under five suffering from stunting from diets that are chronically low in nutrient-rich foods, including fish. A new study from Timor-Leste, published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE, shows that when it comes to improving intake of dietary nutrition, increased fish supply only works in tandem with public awareness and not alone.  

The study, conducted by WorldFish scientists in collaboration with Mercy Corps  examined the effects of increasing pelagic fish catch through nearshore Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) and social behaviour change (SBC) communication on improving fish consumption among inland, nutritionally vulnerable communities.
