Reduced Numbers of Returning Atlantic Salmon (<i>Salmo salar</i>) and Thiamine Deficiency Are Both Associated with the Consumption of High-Lipid Prey Fish by Marja Keinänen, Jari Raitaniemi, Jukka Pönni, Tiina Ritvanen, Timo Myllylä, Pekka J. Vuorinen

“…We investigated how the numbers of age-0 and young herring (<i>Clupea harengus</i>) and sprat (<i>Sprattus sprattus</i>), which are the principal prey species of salmon in the Baltic Proper, the main feeding area of these salmon, as well as the amount of lipid obtained from them and their protein-to-lipid ratio, correlated with the number of returning salmon and the thiamine (vitamin B1) status of spawning salmon. The fewer the 0-year-old herring were and the more abundant were the youngish sprat in the Baltic Proper when the post-smolts arrived there, and the greater the lipid content and lower the protein-to-lipid ratio of the prey fish, the fewer salmon returned to the Rivers Tornionjoki and Simojoki to spawn two years later. …”

An empowerment programme to improve diet quality during pregnancy – the Power 4 a Healthy Pregnancy cluster randomised controlled trial by Renske M. van Lonkhuijzen, Jeanne H. M. de Vries, Elske Brouwer-Brolsma, Susanne Cremers, Janine P. M. Faessen, Edith J. M. Feskens, Annemarie Wagemakers

“…The total diet quality score significantly improved during pregnancy in the intervention group compared to the control group (4.28; 95% CI: 7.87 to 0.70; p = 0.019), particularly driven by improvements in the scores for vitamin D, iodine, and fish. Although other components, including fruit, whole-grain foods, nuts, dairy foods, iodine, and fish showed greater average increases in diet quality scores within the intervention group, these differences were not significant. …”
