1 Urgent matters and priorities in seafood processing Stakeholder view on guidelines for research and development benefiting seafood processing Mrs. Anne Mette Bæk Jespersen, Managing director, Marine Ingredients Denmark Head of Secretariat, EUfishmeal

2 The producers of fishmeal and fish oil in Denmark Denmark is leading producer in Europe and number 7 globally Sustainably sourced raw material direct landings and by-products The sector plays a crucial role in the development of a globally growing aquaculture sector Members and associated members: Triple Nine Fish Protein A/S FF Skagen A/S Hanstholm Fiskemelsfabrik A/S Bioceval Denmark A/S P/F Havsbrún, Færøerne

3 EUfishmeal A European non-governmental organisation representing fishmeal and fish oil producers Purpose: To represent and promote the European fishmeal and fish oil industry in the EU To provide accurate information to decision makers To organize and coordinate activities within the areas of interest of the European fish meal and fish oil producers Member countries and associated members Denmark Germany UK Ireland Iceland Faroe Islands Norway, Sildesalgslaget

4 Sustainability - All production is based on a sustainable exploitation of the resources (quotas set according to advice from biologists) - The sector meets the international standards and certifications that apply to raw materials, production and traceability - Adds value to otherwise unused raw material and get the nutrients from the ocean to the human food chain

5 Increasing share of fishmeal obtained from fish by-products

6 Fishmeal and fish oil for the future The global human population is predicted to exceed 9 billion by 2050 (UN) Increased pressure on the food sectors to maximize production and reduce waste Fish production has been the fastest growing food industry in the world for the last 40 years Aquaculture has leapt from a 3.2% share of total fisheries production in 1950 to 47% in 2011 Marine ingredients are needed to produce healthy fish rich in omega 3 Access to fishmeal and fish oil is therefore of vital importance for a further development of the aquaculture production

7 The worldwide demand for feed ingredients in fish and animal production rapidly growing Source: Rabobank

10 Fishmeal and fish oil consumption and fed aquaculture growth 5% annual growth in Aquaculture Production

11 The changes in composition of Norwegian Salmo salar feed over the period

12 Research and innovation needs The impact of reducing the inclusion of fishmeal and fish oil in feed for salmon and other farmed species? Health of the stock, health for consumers, taste ecc. Fishmeal production processes: optimal handling of the proteins, and other components of the raw material. Securing the digestibility, and survival of the benefits of the components of fishmeal as ingredient in feed production Use of antioxidants Present and future limitations and restrictions on the use of fishmeal and fish-oil products. Making best use of by-products feed or food? Secure raw material: Improve the robustness of the biological assessments and regulation of fish stocks

13 Where to go in future collaboration of Industry, funding agencies and R&I providers Current and potential project collaboration: EU Advisory Councils: Baltic Sea, Pelagic, North Sea, Aquaculture, Market Universities employment of a project business PhD or post doc National funds e.g. the Innovation Fund Denmark EU-funded regional project (Business innovation fund; EU projects as industry partners under e.g. EU ERA-NETs and H2020: The COFASP ERA-NET, the Marine Biotech ERA-NET and others
