Seminar objectives and initial snapshot
of fish waste production and utilization
Nouméa, 11 juin 2012
Objectives of the seminar
• Provide a snapshot of fish waste quantities and
types and current utilization
• Identify opportunities for better utilization of fish
waste including value-adding processes suited to the
socio-economic and physical context
• Identify strategies and collaborative arrangements to
overcome constraints to efficient and profitable
utilization of fish wastes
Programme
4 X 90’ sessions:
• session#1
background presentations and initial snapshot
• Session#2
series of technical presentations on value-adding examples
• Session#3
working groups to address seminar objectives
• Session#4
plenary synthesis of work groups and
brainstorming on priorities and follow-actions
Initial snap shot of fish waste
and their utilization
• initial attempt to understand the situation of PICTs
in relation to fish waste production/uses
• based on a quick analysis of pre-seminar
questionnaires and in-country observations
 fragmented and incomplete snap-shot
• food for thought when identifying the barriers to
efficient and profitable fish waste utilization
• fish waste situation is linked to socio-economiccultural context
Context A
• Limited resources – natural, monetary – and strong cultural
heritage
• Atolls, small islands, remote coastlines of larger islands
• Limited ans scattered productions of waste
• Most types and high proportion of waste are used
• Main uses as human food, animal feed (pigs) and some as
fertilizers
• Generally no commercial value-adding
Context B
• Low income urban centers and islands that interact with
industrial fisheries (onshore processing, transhipments)
• Medium-to-high volumes of waste, geographically
concentrated
• Industrial use when economy of scale allows (e.g. fish meal)
• Some types of waste being used as human food (food
security) e.g. heads, tail trunks, belly flaps
• Some discards at cost
Context C
• High income urban centers and islands that interact with
industrial fisheries (onshore processing)
• Medium-to-high volumes of waste, geographically
concentrated
• Lack of industrial use
• Increasing awareness on waste issue
• High cost of discards
Cost examples of industrial fish waste
• FIJI:
FJD 55 / metric ton
2 Suva-based processors (tuna GG / loins) = 2,000 tons
Annual cost > FJD 100,000
• NEW CALEDONIA:
USD 100 / metric ton
Noumea-based industrial waste = 700 tons
Annual cost = USD 70,000
• FRENCH POLYNESIA :
USD 75 / metric ton
Papeete-based processors (tuna GG / loins) = 1,000 tons (?)
Annual cost = USD 75,000 (?)
• MARSHALL ISLANDS:
USD 275 / metric ton (fuel used to discard at sea, not incl.
labor)
Governmental fish market = 300 kg /week
Annual cost = USD 4,300
