The by-product, fish oil, has gained increased value due to its omega-3 fatty acids, now more valuable than fishmeal. The process of making fishmeal and fish oil has been enhanced with the use of vapor pretreatment as fuel, reducing environmental impact and increasing energy efficiency. The fishing industry is a pioneer in waste recovery technologies, such as the recovery of up to 30 tons of oil daily from wastewater treatment, generating substantial daily revenues.
