The company's revenues rose 9 percent to $390.8 million (€371.2 million) compared to the year prior, due to a $42.4 million (€40.3 million) increase in animal nutrition revenues, particularly fueled by a 63 percent increase in fish oil sales and a 14 percent increase in fishmeal sales.

Omega Protein CEO Bret Scholtes will provide attendees of the IntraFish Seafood Investor Forum a look into the fishmeal and oil sector, as well as into Omega Protein's recent successes.
