Fatty Fish Utilization: Upgrading from Feed to Food

摘要

The conference's goal is to strengthen the menhaden industry in the United States. Research indicates that a high quality surimi can be produced from Atlantic, and perhaps Gulf, menhaden. And there is worldwide interest in converting other fatty species to surimi and other food protein materials. The conference assessed the status of research and the potential for surimi made from fatty species, particularly menhaden. If markets for menhaden surimi for human consumption can develop, the value of the fish will rise and the challenge of the soybean to some extent may be averted.
