How can more food and biomass be obtained from the oceans in a way that does not deprive future generations of their benefits?
iOceanLife.com
The Ocean is one of the main systems of our planetary biosphere. It accounts for almost half of the planet's biological production, but a much smaller proportion of human food – about 2% of overall calorie intake and 15% of protein intake. This is no longer tenable given the nutritional needs of a growing population and over-stretched land-based resources. At the same time, with the oceans becoming warmer and more acidic, and with a larger proportion of the planet's population moving out of poverty, the global community needs to act together to ensure that the rights of future generations to a healthy and productive ocean are not compromised
Salmon
There are many salmon species that exist, but when it comes to the nutrition profile, there’s only one variety that stands out: Wild Alaskan Salmon.

Shrimp
Shrimp is by far the easiest and fastest of all types of seafood to cook: Just two minutes per side and dinner's ready (or 20 minutes total to make a saucy shrimp and noodle stir-fry). I get them cleaned but keep the tails on for more flavor." Shrimp is very low in calories with only 84 calories per 3-ounce serving. Plus they contain 20 grams of protein, high amounts of the minerals iron and zinc, and 300 milligrams of omega-3s.
Crab
It seems like it's only for special occasions, but crab is something you should be enjoying year-round (that is if you actually know how to break apart and eat crab). Depending on the variety, crab ranges from 80 to 100 calories per 3-ounce serving and offers 16 to 20 grams of protein plus 350 to 400 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA + EPA). Pro tip: Cooking with crab becomes much more affordable when you use it in recipes like quick and easy crab cakes or creamy crab bisque.
Canned Tuna
A 2-ounce serving of canned tuna (half of a can) has just 60 calories, is loaded with 13 grams of protein, and is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. "You don't need to load it up with mayo for it to be delicious: I love mixing canned tuna with EVOO, fresh lemon juice, capers, chopped Italian parsley, peas, and orecchiette pasta. It's excellent hot or at room temp."
Scallops
Scallops can be intimidating to cook because they don't change color like shrimp do, and an overcooked scallop is a very sad thing. But perfectly cooked scallops are easier than you think. You just need to pat them dry with paper towels first, then add them to a very hot, oiled pan and get a good sear on both sides until golden (2 to 3 minutes per side). Serve them over quinoa, garbanzo pasta, or salad. A 3-ounce serving of scallops (3 to 4 scallops) has about 96 calories, 12 grams of protein, and up to 90 milligrams of the brain-boosting nutrient choline.
Cod
Cod is a great option for people who think they don't like the flavor of fish—you'll barely taste it if you follow a baked cod recipe paired with tomatoes and capers. If you prefer to keep things simple, cod fillets can be coated in a light breading and baked for 10 to 12 minutes at 450 F. It's also excellent in fish tacos. Atlantic Cod is incredibly mild and flakey and has just 70 calories per 3-ounce serving and 17 grams of protein, plus it doesn't have any total fat or saturated fat.
Seaweed

Our growing need for food poses one of the biggest threats to the environment. Examining contributions from the ocean more closely can be key to addressing the challenge.

They typically contain high amounts of fiber. They may belong to one of several groups of multicellular algae: the red algae, green algae, and brown algae. It’s extremely versatile and can be used in many dishes, including sushi rolls, soups and stews, salads, supplements and smoothies.
It contains Iodine and Tyrosine, Which Support Thyroid Function.
The thyroid gland releases hormones to help control growth, energy production, reproduction and the repair of damaged cells in your body. Your thyroid relies on iodine to make hormones. Without enough iodine, you may start to experience symptoms like weight changes, fatigue or swelling of the neck over time.
Seaweed also contains an amino acid called tyrosine, which is used alongside iodine to make two key hormones that help the thyroid gland do its job properly.
Seaweed is a good Source of Vitamins and Minerals. Each type of Seaweed has a unique set of nutrients.
The protein present in Seaweeds contain all of the essential amino acids. This means seaweed can help ensure you get the full range of amino acids.
Seaweed can also be a good source of omega-3 fats and vitamin B12.
Seaweed contains a wide variety of plant compounds that work together to have strong antioxidant effects.
Studies noted additional improvements in blood sugar levels in those with a genetic disposition to insulin resistance, which usually accompanies type 2 Diabetes.
