Maternal dietary intake of fish and child neurodevelopment at 3 years: a nationwide birth cohort-The Japan Environment and Children's Study.

Results on the association between fish intake during pregnancy and a reduction in neurodevelopmental delays in children have been inconsistent, with some reports finding an association and others finding none.
