Fish meal and fish oil are the major ingredients used for production of feed for aquaculture. A study was conducted in three coastal states of India viz., Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu in order to assess the functioning of fish meal plants, covering raw material sourcing, production process, marketing and constraints in the operation. Oilsardine is the major fish used for fish meal and fish oil production in the 35 fish meal plants operating in various coastal states of India. The installed capacity of fish meal plants varied from 20 to 350 t of raw material per day. About 65,000 t of fish meal and 34,000 t of fish oil are annually produced in the three states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Fish meal is sold at Rs. 40-50 per kg and fish oil at Rs. 50-55 per kg.
