Now, increased demand for traditional fishmeal – which is made from small species caught in the open ocean – has sent the industry scrambling for alternatives.

The stuff being used to make fish feed is a byproduct of the poultry industry – it’s what is left over after the parts of the chicken consumed by humans and the remains used for cat and dog food have been removed.

And next, were going to feed salmon remains to chicken. Close the circle of life.

    We have already had that for a long time, fishmeal for example. One of the contributing reasons for high amounts of dioxins in egg production.

    And the fishy taste of eggs... Can remember egg packages with the claim 'made without fishmeal'
