What is pelagic raw material?
Pelagic fish—from the Greek pelagos, meaning “open sea”—are typically categorized as either coastal or oceanic, depending on the depth and location of their habitat. These species roam freely in the water column, away from the sea floor and shore.
Key pelagic species used in our production include blue whiting, sandeel, Norway pout, and sprat. These fish form the foundation of high-quality marine raw materials for the feed industry. In addition to whole fish, we also utilize trimmings and by-products from pelagic fisheries, ensuring that nothing goes to waste.
We are proud to say that we utilize 100% of the fish—maximizing resource efficiency and contributing to a more sustainable marine value chain.
