Small Fish consumption Dataset

The data was collected in 2017 for the project ‘Promoting sustainable growth of aquaculture in Myanmar to improve food security and income for communities’ (MYFC), funded by the Livelihoods and Food Security fund. We collected the data from one member of each household based on the following: (1) socio-demographic information on family composition, age, livelihood activities and income; (2) a 24-hour food recall with a focus on the fresh and processed fish species consumed by the study participants; (3) quantification of amounts of fresh and processed fish consumed during the preceding 24 hours with the aid of fish models, where study participants with U5 children were asked to report the amount of fish consumed by the child, and; (4) perceptions regarding fish consumption related to health and nutrition.
