It is a frustration of many working in the fishmeal and oil industry that their products are often touted as an "unsustainable" ingredient for aqua feed.

Global stocks of the fish used to produce fishmeal and oil are, overall, stable, and while there are certainly price fluctuations, there is nothing to say that they should be entirely replaced as an ingredient in aquaculture feed.

There is a “common misconception that stocks are declining,” Andrew Mallison, director general of Marine Ingredients Organization IFFO told IntraFish.
