Objectifs du sminaire et premier point sur lutilisation des dchets de poisson

Seminar objectives and initial snapshot of fish waste production and utilization Nouma, 11 juin 2012

1Objectives of the seminar Provide a snapshot of fish waste quantities and types and current utilization

Identify opportunities for better utilization of fish waste including value-adding processes suited to the socio-economic and physical context

Identify strategies and collaborative arrangements to overcome constraints to efficient and profitable utilization of fish wastes 2Programme4 X 90 sessions: session#1 background presentations and initial snapshot

Session#2 series of technical presentations on value-adding examples

Session#3 working groups to address seminar objectives

Session#4 plenary synthesis of work groups and brainstorming on priorities and follow-actions

3Initial snap shot of fish waste and their utilization initial attempt to understand the situation of PICTs in relation to fish waste production/uses

based on a quick analysis of pre-seminar questionnaires and in-country observations fragmented and incomplete snap-shot

food for thought when identifying the barriers to efficient and profitable fish waste utilization

fish waste situation is linked to socio-economic-cultural context 4Context ALimited resources natural, monetary and strong cultural heritage Atolls, small islands, remote coastlines of larger islands Limited ans scattered productions of waste Most types and high proportion of waste are used Main uses as human food, animal feed (pigs) and some as fertilizers Generally no commercial value-adding

5Context BLow income urban centers and islands that interact with industrial fisheries (onshore processing, transhipments) Medium-to-high volumes of waste, geographically concentrated Industrial use when economy of scale allows (e.g. fish meal)Some types of waste being used as human food (food security) e.g. heads, tail trunks, belly flapsSome discards at cost

6Context CHigh income urban centers and islands that interact with industrial fisheries (onshore processing) Medium-to-high volumes of waste, geographically concentrated Lack of industrial use Increasing awareness on waste issueHigh cost of discards

7Cost examples of industrial fish waste FIJI:FJD 55 / metric ton2 Suva-based processors (tuna GG / loins) = 2,000 tonsAnnual cost > FJD 100,000

NEW CALEDONIA:USD 100 / metric tonNoumea-based industrial waste = 700 tonsAnnual cost = USD 70,000

8FRENCH POLYNESIA :USD 75 / metric tonPapeete-based processors (tuna GG / loins) = 1,000 tons (?)Annual cost = USD 75,000 (?)

MARSHALL ISLANDS:USD 275 / metric ton (fuel used to discard at sea, not incl. labor) Governmental fish market = 300 kg /weekAnnual cost = USD 4,300
