This is expected to be primarily the blue whiting season, when fish are landed specifically for meal and oil production, as the majority of herring and mackerel landings are now processed and frozen for human consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The new meal plant should also enough to cope with smaller capelin seasons. During the current season, 9700 tonnes of capelin have been frozen at S\u00edldarvinnslan\u2019s processing plant and only 120 tonnes have been routed to fishmeal production.<\/p>\n<p>S\u00edldarvinnslan has for some years been working with MAT\u00cdS on a development project to produce more valuable protein and fish oil from the raw production materials.
