Fish meal & Fish Oil
Austevoll Seafood ASA is among the biggest producers of fishmeal and fishoil. We pride ourselves in having a fully integrated production chain to deliver the best quality fish meal and fish oil in the market.
Fish meal is flour made by cooking and milling fresh raw fish and fish trimmings. Fish oil is a clear brown/yellow liquid pressed from the cooked fish and normally refined.
Fish meal and fish oil are produced from harvesting stocks of fish for which there is little or no demand for human consumption and also from the use of trimmings left over from processing fish for food. The whole fish are mainly small bony oily and largely inedible such as anchovy, horse mackerel, menhaden, capelin and sandeel.
These fish store oil in their flesh. Trimmings, which are also used, produce up to 15% of world's fish meal. This is produced from either white-fish which is low in oil (most of the oil is in the livers which are used for oil production e.g. cod liver oil) or trimmings from oily fish such as herring, mackerel etc.
Fish meal is normally a brown powder/meal typically with 60% to 72% protein and 5% to 12% fat and 10% to 20% ash.
Fish oil is normally yellow/orange to dark brown in colour depending on the species of fish from which it is produced. It is liquid above 10oC but can start to solidify below this temperature.
Virtually all fish meal is used as a high-protein ingredient in feed for farmed land animals and for farmed fish.
Fish oil is used mainly in feed for farmed fish but is also used to make capsules containing omega-3 fatty acids as human health supplements.
Our fish meal and fish-oil are produced by our three subsidiaries namely Austral S.A.A, Foodcorp S.A. and Welcon AS.
We sell these products globally, to a wide variety of industries
