Processing

The fish sold will be processed into fillets to increase consumer sales appeal, although the project has potential customers presently who wish to purchase live fish. The project will process the fish in a specially designed portable unit. Processing will be done by special equipment that strips off all the scales from the fish and automatically fillets them. The equipment is very fast, using no more than a few seconds to process each fish. All waste from this processing is saved and made into fish meal, another very important feed ingredient making the project just that much more efficient. The need for marine, or salt water, fish meal is thereby eliminated and the protein signature of the meal is identical to the requirements of the fish being raised.
