Contribution (%) of recommended nutrient intake (RNI)(22) of iron by fish and other aquatic species. Percentages are estimated based on a 50 g/d serving of fish for pregnant and lactating women, a 25 g/d serving for children 6–24 months, and assuming 10 % bioavailability of iron. The RNI for iron for pregnant women is based on the value of 29·4 mg/d for women aged 19–50 years, as no specific value for pregnant women is given. This is in alignment with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) RDA of 27 mg/d for pregnant women(24). Iron values and sources are given in Table A2. , Pregnant women;
