What is Efamol’s position on global over fishing?
In essence, fish oil use in supplements has negligible impact on fish stocks or over fishing and is instead a means of optimizing return from an undervalued resource. Over 1.2 million tonnes of fish oil is produced per year but the use of fish oil in human nutrition is not a major usage. For example, in 2000, production was allocated as illustrated below: • 31% for human nutrition in food. • 2% for supplements/pharmaceuticals. • 67% for aquaculture, technical use, or burnt as fuel in processing plants. By 2010, industrial usage is predicted to increase to 98% with only 1% being used for human edible oil and 1% for supplements and pharmaceuticals.
