WHAT IS MARINE FISH POWDER

Pure sea fish meal is a product made from whole fish, bones and byproducts from the fish after processing. Brown sea fish meal after cooked, pressed and dried.

 Sea ocean fish meal must have protein indicators such as, freshness, ash, moisture is always in the limit. Sea Fish is one of the best raw material in the production of animal feed, poultry and seafood. Fishmeal protein in the sea always has the advantage over other types is easily digestible protein and essential amino acids.

Sea Fish is a kind of meat processed from fish, trash fish, whole fish, fish heads and bones or other by-products from the processing of fish. Currently in Vietnam there are two kinds of sea fish meal flour mainly from ingredients of marine fish marine (saltwater) fish and marine powder material from Catfish (freshwater fish). Depending on the feedstock will obtain two types of marine fish meal products. The poor quality of fish products we obtain marine fish powder used as raw material for animal feed, poultry and seafood. With the high-value fish have been sea food fish meal. Along with the development of seafood processing technology and marine aquaculture, fish meal processing technologies growing sea. From the production and processing of fisheries generate abundant waste materials for manufacturing of marine fish meal.

Sea Fish is rich in protein products, containing from 55% to 67% of total nitrogen, of which nitrogen digestion and absorption is 80-95% depending on the processing technology and original material. Meanwhile digestible protein sources from plants of only 30-40%.

Sea of ​​fishmeal protein is the perfect protein because they contain all the amino acids and is not a substitute for weight ratio of amino acids. Marine fish meal digestion coefficient higher because many protein containing soluble and absorbed.

Sea Fish is the most valuable component in aquatic feed and, further, it is a major component in the diet of predatory fish and shrimp. It tastes delicious and very good quality, adequate supply of protein with essential fatty acids. If economic terms, it is the only source of protein in aquatic feed. This is also similar to the case of salmon. It is a good source of energy and its oil also has the corresponding components such as vitamins, minerals and other trace elements. However it has a high phosphorus content and easy to pollute. High quality sea fish meal is good quality activities in aquatic feed. Fish helps increase resistance to disease (for animal feed) especially in the early stages of life. The same may be true for aquatic food.

High quality sea fish meal has a wide application in aquaculture and commercial terms can also be achieved if the quality control of raw materials and processing conditions rigorously. According to growth, intensive aquaculture using aquatic foods containing powder produced marine fish special, called marine fish meal LT. They are manufactured by keeping the time between exploiting short in processing time as possible; keeping ships clean extraction, preservation and marble raw material through freezing and low temperatures used in both cooking and drying process of the marine fish meal production without increasing drying time. Marine fish meal LT has several advantages compared to other types of marine fish meal; there are also some advantages similar to shrimp, but this has not been verified. Although marine fish meal LT lot more expensive than ordinary sea fish meal but the food has improved conversion efficiency when adding this type of marine fish meal, thus reducing the cost of feed per unit weight body weight.

Sea Fish is the best food for fish and crustaceans bone, outstanding quality with high protein content. However, the poor processing and storage will reduce the amino acids, lipid oxidation and is responsible for the generation of anti-nutrients such as histamine and derivatives gizzerosin, quality affects fish but may not affect to shrimp - which has no stomach acid secretion true style. These substances and other amine has been discussed by Pike and Hardy (1994). Chamberlin (1993) noted that salmon have low tolerance for histamine and gizzerosin, while almost no information on the impact of marine fish meal to all other species. However, Pike and Hardy (1994) in the UK has confirmed the use of marine fish meal broken, moldy histamine and tyramine with high volume, will reduce the growth rate of prawn.

The addition of fish meal in feed marine fisheries are also some differences, depending on the species, stage of development of the species would correspond to diet and nutrition components, respectively. Add common ratio, current limit from a low of 5% in catfish feed to high 60% of marine fish feed. Generally, most marine fish powder added are expected to fall by 2000, but there will still be 40% or more for all species except fish bones salmon and catfish. Percentage add salmon (30%) and shrimp (25%) do not expect to reach this stage. However, it depends on the circumstances, this percentage can add increased in intensive aquaculture but less intensive level of involvement, it can be reduced.
