Collection of discard in European fishing ports

– challenges and oppotunities

Christian Bisgaard

Reducing discards and bycatches – the problem

Bycatches and discards are a serious problem in European fisheries

Bycatches and their associated discards have serious consequences such as:

a waste of resources;

lower future catch opportunities with catching of juvenile species;

immediate reduction in the spawning biomass if mature individuals are caught;

negative impact on the marine ecosystem and on biodiversity

In most cases, the fish or crustaceans caught and discarded into the sea will already

be dead or have very little chance of survival

Reducing discards and bycatches

Reducing discards and bycatches – discard ban

Throwing away fish can not longer be tolerated

Reformed Common Fisheries Policy requires fisheries operating in the EU

to bring all by-catch back to shore

By-catch is counted toward the fishery's quota

5

Reducing discards and bycatches – still a long way to go

A combination of instruments and measures to be adapted to

each individual fishery is needed to reduce bycatches and

gradually eliminate discards

The practical and economic realities of the fisheries

also need to be taken into account

Improving selectivity of fishing gear is necessary

And an important question that is still to be answered: What

happens with the bycatch?

until now, there is no systematic solution

SARIA/Bioceval has many years of experience in the

valorisation of fish by-products

Where does the raw material come from?

Fish and fish scraps are collected at fish processing plants

International collection: Germany, Holland, Spain, France, Poland, Scandinavian and Italy

Maintenance of cold chain for ensuring food-grade quality for special requirements for

production at LIPROMAR

Transportation and processing within a tight time frame

8

How to obtain quality oil and unmixed meal

SARIA/Bioceval produces fish oils and fish meals in both,

high-capacity production lines and small specialty production

lines

On delivery, the fish by-products are immediately separated by

type and stored temporarily in special storage bunkers

During the subsequent production process, the raw material is

heated, sterilised, deoiled, concentrated and then dried

The result at the end of the production process is high-quality

oil or unmixed meal

9

Fish meal as a protein component in animal feed

Bioceval fish meals are popular as a source of protein in the pet

food industry, in aquaculture, in poultry and in pig feed

Bioceval produces:

Fish meal standard

Salmon fish meal

Herring fish meal

Trout fish meal

Tuna fish meal

White fish meal

Shrimp meal

Other fish meals on request

10

Fish oil – adding energy to feed

Bioceval produces:

Fish oil with dioxin content guarantee

Salmon fish oil with dioxin content guarantee

Oil from shrimp shells

Herring fish oil with dioxin content guarantee

Mackerel fish oil

Our fish oils are used in a variety of ways:

Pet food industry

Aquaculture

Feed for pigs (especially for feeding sows

and rearing piglets)

Leather industry (tanneries, leather care)

Further processing in refineries

11

Bioceval specialty products

MSC and ASC certified products

For Bioceval, fresh and high-quality raw material is particularly important. Partly, it‘s origin are

MSC certified fishery and ASC certified aquaculture

MSC fish by-products are collected, processed and marketed separately, working closely with

MSC certified plants within the fish processing industry

Organic fish meals and oils

Organic products are subject to strict regulations and conditions. Bioceval meets these high

standards and is therefore a supplier to organic businesses

Poultry and pig fattening farms and partners in aquaculture benefit from high-quality, purely

organic feed. Compliance can be guaranteed and provenance traced back at any time

12

industry

Food-grade fish oils and fish proteins are also used for premium

petfood

Sustainability

Our primary objective is to provide effective support to our partners in the

fish processing industry, while taking environmental factors into consideration

Because we exclusively process fish scraps, this helps to conserve valuable

fish resources

Our activities extract maximum benefit from catches made by the fish

industry. All processes and product developments reflect this philosophy

That is also why we participate in selected EU environmental projects and

maintain an open, trusted and ongoing dialogue with leading environmental

and animal welfare organisations like Greenpeace and the WWF

What can Bioceval do for the fish industry?

SARIA/Bioceval collects fish scraps at industrial scale

SARIA/Bioceval organises a clean and prompt collection within the law

SARIA/Bioceval has outstanding expertise in producing high-quality fish meal and oil

which is demanded on the market

In collaboration with the fish industry, SARIA/Bioceval is able to develop a

collecting system for bycatches at European harbours

29

What can SARIA/Bioceval do for the fish industry? – Next steps

1. Identify “test harbours“ to implement the collection system: Each fishery in this harbours

gets an own container where bychatches can be stored (in cold store)

2. Billing would be based on quality and quantity of raw material and frequency of collection

3. Adjust / improve the collecting and billing process

4. Expand the system on other harbours

Clear advantages:

Legally compliant disposal

Processing of fish to high-quality products

Sustainability: No more waste of resources!
