Hello Ger: There are many possibilities for use of the oil but you
haven't supplied sufficient information. For example, where is this oil
produced, is the salmon oil from wild catch or farmed fish. What do you
consider significant amounts of these fish? What do you consider very high
quality? What about the residue after you extract the oil? How much
processing are you willing to put the oil through?
Also, because the price of fish oils are relatively high right now it looks
like an attractive market, but can your volumes and processing costs survive
if and when the price reaches the bottom? Maybe it won't but you never
know.
In any event if you could be more specific I am sure I or someone else could
supply additional information that would be helpful to you.
Regards
