Abstract Small-scale fisheries are a crucial source of nutrient-dense aquatic foods in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet practical tools to manage these optimize nutritional outcomes an ecosystem approach remain limited. We present analytical framework predictive model fishery nutrient profiles under typical multispecies, multi-gear situations. Using six-years catch data from Timor-Leste, we modelled how different fishing methods, habitats, vessel types seasons influence the yield nutrients public health significance. Our results demonstrate that method habitat strong predictors profiles. Importantly, combinations strategies can achieve similar outcomes, indicating complementary management pathways enhance availability for communities while balancing ecological, economic, human wellbeing goals. This replicable provides actionable insights nutrition-sensitive offers data-driven guidance policies aimed at improving food nutrition security LMICs.

ABSTRACT Marine fisheries are crucial to the economy, livelihood, food security and culture of coastal nations communities, significantly contributing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. A decade ago, T. J. Pitcher W. L. Cheung highlighted dichotomy in perception fisheries' status, concluding that long‐term sustainability benefits people were threatened by overexploitation, climate change, pollution, habitat change other human stressors. They advocated for a fundamental shift towards ecosystem‐based management, better enforcement existing regulations more inclusive equitable management practices. In this paper, we provide an updated review status global fisheries, reflecting on policy actions, key assessments research findings over past decade. While there is growing recognition need sustainable ocean protection, overall has not improved. Despite progress international national policies addressing direct indirect drivers such as harmful practices, these trends have been reversed. Many challenges identified others persist. Additionally, new emerging issues deep‐sea mining, plastic unhealthy aquaculture development, increasing social inequity rapidly push acceleration blue economy exacerbate complexity achieving goals. Debating whether hope or despair become irrelevant. Pathways ‘bend curve’ clear, effective actions now urgently needed achieve desirable fisheries.
