This study analyses seafood consumption at home in Spain using three different cross sections (1980,
1990, and 1998). Price indices for seafood and other items are calculated for each household. The
empirical analyses consists of the estimation of double hurdle models of seafood consumption for each
survey, separately. Socio-economic variables...
All the Arab countries are producers of fish from marine, inland and aquaculture sources. Total fish production in 1994, as reported by FAO, reached 1.67 million tons.

The n-3 fatty acids have important
effects to modulate and prevent human diseases, particularly
coronary heart disease. Their effects upon the brain later in
life to prevent certain disorders such as Alzheimer's Disease

evidence is now very strong that the...
From merely being cod liver oil taken for vitamins A and D, fish oils have moved into the center stage of fatty acids in nutrition. The analytical work starting in 1950 provided the means to recognize the long-chain and truly essential n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids vital for retinal, neurological and...

The evidence for a protective role of omega
3 fatty acids in CHD is becoming clearer and firmer,
especially for secondary prevention. Intakes of
approximately 800-1,000 mg per day appear to be a prudent
approach for the latter group of patients. The safety of
intakes of up to 3,000 mg...
