Fish

To effectively apply vertical integration and use the remaining Proteins and Starches in our process, the Community Bio-Refinery produces Fish Pellets that are nutritionally balanced fish meals. The proteins and starches become a valuable source of nutrition in the aquaculture/fish farming industry.

We are witnessing an expanding demand for nutritious fish meal and pellets in fisheries around the world. Currently, According to FISH WATCH U.S. Sea Food Facts, about half of those imports are from aquaculture (pond or farm-raised). The U.S. seafood trade deficit has grown to $16.8 billion in 2017. In the United States, marine aquaculture production increased an average of 3.3 percent per year from 2009-2014, however, globally, the U.S. remains a relatively minor aquaculture producer.

With a decreasing supply of fish available from the ocean's fisheries, there is a growing demand for safe and naturally-grown, farm-produced fish in the U.S. There is an excellent opportunity for anyone who can produce a reliable supply of fish products in domestic fisheries.
