Contribution (%) of daily recommendation of DHA by fish species. The FAO recommends an intake of 200 mg/d of DHA for pregnant and lactating women, and the adequate intake for children 6–23 months is estimated to be 10–12 mg/kg per d⁽²⁵⁾. Based on the work of Bogard et al.⁽¹³⁾, we used a figure of 110 mg DHA/d for young children, which is the midpoint of the recommended range of intakes based on the respective body weights of children at 7 months and children at 23 months at the 50th percentile⁽²⁶⁾. Percentages are estimated based on a 50 g/d serving of fish for pregnant and lactating women, and a 25 g/d serving of fish for children 6–24 months. DHA values and sources are given in Table A6. , Pregnant and lactating women; , children 6-24 months
