Fish is a physiologically valuable food source. Two surveys in different Indonesian rural communities showed that fish is the principal animal food source and eaten most frequently in fishermen's households. However, in spite of the high level of fish consumption, the nutritional status of fishermen's children was significantly worse than the nutritional status of children of civil servants or farmers. This situation can be related to insufficient intake of other foodstuffs but also to other factors such as health service usage, high rate of illiteracy, and a poor environmental hygiene situation in fishery households compared to other sectors of the population.
