| dc.description | At its Fifth Session, held in Cochin, 19-26 October 1977, the Indian Ocean Fisheries Commission (IOFC) recognized that, whilst every priority should be given to the use, wherever possible, of fish for direct human food, in some instances the reduction of certain species to fish meal might be the only way at the present time of getting a viable fishery started. Especially where small shoaling pelagic species are concerned it would appear that, until considerably more work is done on fish processi ng technology and market development, the only processing method presently suitable for handling high volume catches is conversion to fish meal and oil. In particular, it seems unlikely that in the foreseeable future the mesopelagic stocks of the Arabian Sea will be useable primarily for direct food purposes. At the same time, many of the countries in the Near East region are placing high emphasis upon the development of domestic poultry produce industries and are likely to have rapidly expandin g requirements for fish meal. With these factors in mind the International Indian Ocean Fishery Survey and Development Programme commissioned the following report in an attempt to identify the nature and potential size of such regional markets for fish meal whose requirements might, at least in part be satisfied by fish meal produced by reduction industries based in the Near East region itself. | |
