More Companies in These Related Industries: Company Description
Omega Protein is the alpha dog of the fish-meal industry. With a handful of US processing plants, a fleet of about 50 fishing vessels, and some 30 spotter aircraft, the company is the largest US producer of fish meal and fish oil, both of which are derived from menhaden (an inedible fish caught in the Gulf of Mexico and along the East Coast). Animal-feed makers and livestock ranchers use Omega Protein's fish meal for protein additives in feed, while the fish oil is used in Europe in margarine and shortening and for industrial uses. Rich in Omega-3 fatty acids (reputed to provide health benefits), fish oil is also used as a human food supplement.
