Small indigenous fish species, collectively referred to as SIS, are loaded with vital micronutrients. They play a crucial role in promoting nutrition-sensitive aquaculture in South Asia and have the potential to significantly reduce undernutrition through food-based strategies. However, the lack of standardized techniques for large-scale hatchery production of these micronutrient-dense SIS presents a major technical barrier to advancing nutrition-sensitive aquaculture approaches.
