Fishmeal and Fish oil

Fishmeal and fish oil are two products derived from processing fish, mainly small, oily species. Fishmeal is a high-protein ingredient used mainly in animal feeds, especially for aquaculture and livestock, providing essential nutrients. Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, beneficial for heart and brain health, and is used in dietary supplements. Both are produced by drying and pressing fish or fish parts, concentrating specific nutrients. They play vital roles in nutrition, supporting growth and health in animals and humans, but their production also raises concerns about overfishing and environmental sustainability.
