Inspection Laboratory; telephone: 228–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
committee’s agenda includes the
following issues: nutrient relationships
in seafood - selection to balance benefits
and risks.
Background
Seafood contributes a variety of
nutritional benefits to the American
diet. They are sources of protein,
calcium, iodine, copper, zinc, and
omega–3 fatty acids. Furthermore, some
nutrients may affect bioavailability,
toxico-dynamics, and target-organ
transport, and thus affect the
toxicological response to certain
compounds. Contamination of marine
resources, however, whether by
naturally-occurring or introduced
toxicants, is a concern for U.S.
consumers because of the potential for
adverse health effects. Human exposure
to toxic compounds through seafood can
be managed by making choices that
provide desired nutrients balanced
against exposure to such compounds in
specific types of seafood that have been
found to pose a particular health risk.
Consumers, particularly subpopulations
that may be at increased risk, need
authoritative information to inform their
choices. The National Marine Fisheries
Service has contracted with the National
Academies of Science to produce a
report that will recommend approaches
to decision-making for selecting seafood
to obtain the greatest nutritional
benefits, balanced against exposure to
potential toxicants and identifies data
gaps and research needs. The study
objectives will include:
1. Identifying and examining the
routes of entry of naturally-occurring
and introduced toxicants into the food
supply, through seafood sources, and
evaluating food consumption patterns of
the U.S. population to estimate current
levels of intake exposure.
