The Peruvian anchoveta fishery (the largest mono-specific fleet worldwide)
supplies mostly a chain of fishmeal and fish oil aimed at producing animal
feeds, mostly in other continents, whereas others supply chains for direct
human consumption only use <1% of the anchoveta landing. Although
improving during the last 10 years, this...
In Peru, the fisheries are characterized by a strong fishmeal industry. The
species used for fishmeal production is mainly anchovy and also some
other small pelagic species. There is some concern that an excellent source
of food is used for a product not directly going for human consumption.
Since several...
The variation in fatty acid composition between the "bound" and
"free" lipid in stored anchovy meal was determined using gas-liquid
chromatographic analysis. A model system of fresh anchovy oil on
powdered lactalbumin was also studied to determine the changes in
extractability and fatty acid composition which occur during oxidation.

Bypass protein is an important part of the diet of lactating cattle. The National Research Council recommends that bypass protein make up 34 to 36 percent of the total crude protein consumed by lactating cattle.
Five experiments were conducted to investigate the
effect of dietary fish meal on the incidence of Sudden Death
Syndrome (SDS) in broiler chickens. Growth, feed
efficiency, total mortality and mortality due to SDS were
evaluated. Necropsy examination was performed on broilers
suspected of dying from SDS. Liver lipid and fatty...
