The manufacture of fish meal from various species of fish of minor commercial importance can help reduce the amount of fish meal importation into this country. In view of the increasing poultry and livestock industries, our fish meal importation of 260,754 kilograms in 1949 was increased to 1,812,041 kilograms in 1953, showing an increase of approximately 700 per cent in a period of four years. In spite of this importation and the great need of fish meal, not much work has been done in the manufacture of this product in this country. This may be due to lack of practical knowledge of the technique in fish meal manufacture or of information on the utilization of the product.
