What is pelagic raw material?
Pelagic fish (from greek pelagos, ocean) can be categorized as coastal and oceanic fish, based on the depth of the water they inhabit and where they hunt freely. Blue whiting, Sandeel, Norway pout and Sprat are important pelagic fish species that we use in production and which form the basis of marine raw material for the feed industry. Trimmings and by-products from pelagic fishery are also a valuable source of raw material. We utilizes 100% of the fish!
