Fish proteins are a source of energy and essential amino acids, required for growth and maintenance. Skeletal muscle strength and muscle density are maintained by an adequate protein intake.
Protein also used in the formation of important enzymes, hormones, various body fluids and certain chemicals needed for the normal functioning of the brain and nervous system.
Fish proteins also contribute to the physiochemical and sensory properties of various protein-rich foods.
Fish proteins have health benefits in protection against cardiovascular disease, assist in brain and nervous system development, in fetal and infant development and seem to offer some protection against diabetes, chronic infections and certain types of cancer.
Proteins also helps maintain the normal acid-base base of human body and body tissues.
