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.
