Marine protein supply o Of the 600 marine fish stocks monitored by the FAO in 2013: • 58 percent are fully exploited, with no expected room for further expansion • 31 percent are over-exploited at unsustainable One of the World's Biggest Fisheries Is on the Verge of Collapse Major disputes in the South China Sea are putting critical habitat — and the food supply of millions — at risk September 9, 2016 http://www.fao.org/fishery/sofia/en CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY

Essential Amino Acids (EAAs) o Amino acids are the building blocks of protein o Nine of the twenty-two amino acids that make up human proteins cannot be synthesized by adults, and a tenth cannot be made by children - These are called essential amino acids (EAAs). o EAAs determine food quality as a protein source.
