 Introduction
• Capture fisheries too generates a significant
amount of waste.
• However, there is some potential for gaining
more value from fish waste.
• It is rich in valuable minerals, enzymes,
pigments and flavours that are required by
many industries including food, agriculture,
aquaculture and pharmaceuticals.
 Objectives
• Determination of current waste arisings
• Identification of current infrastructure and
capacity
• Determination of current disposal routes,
• Investigation of any forecasted future trends
in the above.

Purpose and Techniquerage
1). Storage
• Freezing: storage of material for use in pet food manufacture etc.
• Ensiling: essentially a storage technique for subsequent disposal or
utilisation
• Rendering with other material: reduction of material to fish oil and bone
meal
2). Utilization
• Reduction to fish meal and fish oil: conversion to a marketable
commodity
• Direct consumption: utilization by zoo and circus animals, hounds
maggots and worm (for use as bait) farming
3). Disposal
• Incineration: burning of de-watered material
• Landfill: restricted to remote areas where no alternative solutions are
available
 Storage
1). Freezing
a). Convert to the animal feed and pet food
b). Sold to the pet food manufacturer

2). Ensiling
a). Ensilers – live near the source of fish waste
– aim freshest the raw materials

 Disposal
• Incineration
- uses fluidized bed technology to co incinerate
meat and bone meal with various waste liquids.
- Advantages – suitable for all categories
- Disadvantages – High cost
 Landfill

• The reasons:
a). unsuitable for conversion to fishmeal
b). difficult to collect economically (because of
remoteness from processing points) or, as
aquaculture mortalities and forbidden.
• Derogations are in place which will allow
landfill in “remote areas” where facilities do
not exist to deal with epizootic outbreaks.
