The annual global production of fishmeal and fish oil is currently around five million tonnes of meal and one million tonnes of oil (Figure I), except in years when the fishing in the South Pacific is disrupted by the warm waters of an El Nino, most recently in 2010. Around 22 million tonnes of raw material is used, of which approximately 75 percent comes from whole fish and 25 percent from by-products of processing fish for human consumption (IFFO estimates).
