Objectifs du séminaire et premier point sur l’utilisation des déchets de poissonSeminar objectives and initial snapshot of fish waste production and utilization Nouméa, 11 juin 2012
Objectives 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
Programme 4 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
Initial 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
Context A • Limited 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
Context B • Low 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 flaps • Some discards at cost
Context C • High 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 issue • High cost of discards
Cost examples of industrial fish waste • FIJI: FJD 55 / metric ton 2 Suva-based processors (tuna GG / loins) = 2,000 tons Annualcost > FJD 100,000 • NEW CALEDONIA: USD 100 / metric ton Noumea-basedindustrialwaste = 700 tons Annualcost = USD 70,000
FRENCH POLYNESIA : USD 75 / metric ton Papeete-based processors (tuna GG / loins) = 1,000 tons (?) Annualcost = USD 75,000 (?) • MARSHALL ISLANDS: USD 275 / metric ton (fuel used to discardatsea, not incl. labor) Governmentalfishmarket = 300 kg /week Annualcost = USD 4,300
