Fisheries for Fish meal and Fish Oil
aquaculture improvement partnerships
Aquaculture is the leading user of fish meals and oils. SFP’s objectives are to promote the use of sustainably harvested fish for the production of fish meals and fish oils for fish feeds, and encourage general disclosure of raw materials for fish feeds.
SFP has completed a rapid assessment to identify main sources of fishmeal and fish oil production in the world. We are now collecting and summarizing scientific and technical information to prepare Fishery Profiles for these fisheries on FishSource™. Our work in South American feed fisheries will be done with CeDePesca, our long-term partner in the region. The reports will be a basic assessment of the management quality, stock status and environment/biodiversity of Peruvian anchovy, Chilean anchovy, jack mackerel, chub mackerel, sardine and pilchards. We expect that the information will be publicly available on the FishSource website by early next year.
