Abstract
This study quantifies catches from Norwegian small-scale fisheries (SSF), compares them to recommended dietary intakes, and assesses SSF's potential contribution to local food and nutrition security (FNS). Norwegian SSF catches, readily accessible in crises, can provide 5 million people with 1–2 weekly seafood portions (360 g), meeting 70–96% of the recommended intake of key nutrients like vitamin B12, iodine, and DHA. The findings support policies emphasizing fish in dietary guidelines, offering a micronutrient-rich alternative to supplements and fortified foods.
