Fisheries comprise the fastest growing sector meeting the global protein requirements. Being an affordable enterprise, it is considered a safe source of food and the muscles of healthy fishes are almost sterile. However, a multitude of hazards (biological, chemical, and environmental) can be introduced into aquaculture throughout the production and supply chain. Also, it can originate from unsuitable farming practices, environmental pollution, and socio-cultural habits prevailing in various regions. Hence, with an increasing global population and demands for aquacultural products, assessment and regulation of food safety concerns are becoming significantly evident. Ensuring safe, secure, affordable, and quality food for all in a global context is pragmatically difficult. In this context, it is quite imperative to understand the ecology and dynamics of these hazards throughout the entire production chain in a One Health approach. Here, we discuss the issues and challenges faced in the fisheries sector as a whole and the need for a One Health approach to overcome such hurdles.
渔业是增长最快的行业，能够满足全球对蛋白质的需求。渔业是一种负担得起的产业，被认为是安全的食物来源，健康鱼类的肌肉几乎是无菌的。然而，在整个生产和供应链中，可能会引入多种危害（生物、化学和环境）。此外，这些危害也可能源自不合适的养殖做法、环境污染以及不同地区流行的社会文化习惯。因此，随着全球人口的增加以及对水产养殖产品的需求不断增长，对食品安全问题的评估和监管变得越来越重要。在全球范围内，为所有人提供安全、有保障、负担得起和高质量的食品是具有挑战性的。在这种情况下，非常有必要从“同一健康”的角度了解整个生产链中这些危害的生态和动态。在这里，我们讨论了整个渔业部门面临的问题和挑战，以及需要采取“同一健康”方法来克服这些障碍。
