Fish Waste Production in the UK - The quantities Produced and Opportunities for Better Utilisation

The options for fish waste utilisation and disposal are becoming increasingly restricted, creating a significant problem for the UK fish industry.

B40_Abalone Feed Requirements

Abalone naturally eat seaweed of which some less abundant species are preferred. In culture situations where seaweed sources are considered it will be necessary to demonstrate that operations are sustainable to ensure no significant impact on the marine ecosystem. Furthermore, when abalone culture is proposed in Special Areas of Conservation (SAC’s) a higher level of ‘Appropriate Assessment’ will be required. This report is a guidance document to help address some of these issues and present options for individual scheme consideration.
