Abstract

With an increased demand for fishmeal and fish oil in the major world markets, which offer very remunerative prices, fishmeal factories are multiplying in West Africa. In Senegal, there are now more than a dozen officially registered fishmeal plants—and some more operating clandestinely. In Mauritania, their numbers have exploded over the last few years, reaching 29 plants by end 2015.
