Abstract

This review examines the importance of proteins obtained from aquatic sources, such as “blue foods,†in solving the increasing global protein needs. It also explores the current problems in the food sector, such as finding sustainable protein sources, and evaluates the role of blue foods as a promising substitute to traditional protein sources. Lastly, the review provides an overview of historical and current trends in protein consumption, with a focus on the sustainability, nutrition, and economic feasibility of blue foods. While blue foods offer advantages such as high nutritional value, lower environmental impact, and potential economic benefits, they also face challenges including overfishing, habitat destruction, and regulatory issues. This assessment highlights both the potential and the limitations of blue foods, providing a comprehensive overview of the current state and future directions in this field.
