Fishmeal Processing Operations

Fishmeal from Peru: rich in protein, minerals and vitamins

Fishmeal is dried fish and is used to supplement feeds for farmed fish (aquaculture), pigs, and poultry. It is also widely used in pet food. Rich in protein, minerals and vitamins - fishmeal is widely recognised to promote better growth and general health, and is known to reduce water pollution, hence a preferred choice for the aquaculture industry.

The main ingredient of our fishmeal is anchovy, a small pelagic fish, high in oil content, which swims in huge schools along the Peruvian coast. Our vessels operate on a daily cycle during the 2 fishing seasons and return to coast once vessel storage is full. Harvested anchovies are then delivered to plants for processing. After weighing and sampling, the anchovies are cooked, pressed, dried and milled prior to being packed and delivered to customers.

Fish oil is produced as a by-product. After undergoing a distilling process, fish oil is primarily used in aquaculture feed, and in health supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids for human consumption.

Both our fishmeal and fish oil processing follow internationally recognised quality standards, and undergo strict quality control inspections and laboratory analysis throughout the production process. As such, our fishmeal and fish oil products are supplied to our customers with quality control certificates issued by independent surveyors such as Societé Generale de Surveillance.
