A customer recently raised the following point: on the\u00a0Xtend-Life<\/a>\u00a0website under \u201cBuyer\u2019s Guide\u201d sustainability section, it states \u201cThe tuna oil does not have any impact on tuna stocks as it is a by-product of the tuna caught for food.\u201d\u00a0 Can you expand on this? Our response: The reason that our tuna oil has no impact on Tuna stocks is that the oil is a by-product of the fish which is caught for food. To clarify further!\u00a0 After the fish is filleted, fish meal is produced from the remainder, and oil is produced as part of the process of making the fish meal.\u00a0 Around 90 \u2013 95%% of that oil is used for agriculture and industrial purposes.\u00a0 Ironically a significant proportion of the fish meal is used for rearing fish on fish farms which actually puts more pressure on wild stocks as about 5kgs of fish meal is used to produce 1kg of salmon in a fish farm.\u00a0 Actually the oil from tuna (and hoki) is more conservation friendly than much of the other oil which is mainly produced from anchovies for converting into industrial fish meal as opposed to tuna which are caught for their food value. We certainly accept that tuna is suffering from overfishing and believe that there should be more international controls to curb this overfishing.\u00a0 However, using the oil from tuna is not contributing to the pressure on the tuna fish stocks. Fortunately the Hoki fishery in New Zealand is healthy, thanks to the tight controls kept on the allowable catches by the\u00a0NZ<\/a>\u00a0Government.<\/p>\n
