Lower value catch that cannot be eaten could be turned into fishmeal, used as feed in fish farms.
Meanwhile, studies indicated that the Moringa oleifera Lam could be used to substitute 10% of fishmeal in Nile tilapia diets without significant reduction on growth (Afuang et al. 2003).
Chinese researchers are working on a yeast-based protein supplement that could be a substitute for more than half the fishmeal.How fast this resource runs out depends a great deal on what China does.
If they had to land all of their catch, they could be forced to sell low-value species useful only as fishmeal.
Thus, this study revealed that better growth performance in Koi, A. testudineus (Bloch) could be achieved through utilization of poultry viscera in the formulated fish feed, compared to fishmeal.
Enthusiasts argue over such minutiae as whether yeast and fishmeal can be used in organic products.
Insect meal could also replace some of the expensive ingredients, such as soybeans and fishmeal, that are fed to farm animals, potentially lowering the cost of livestock products and freeing up feed crops for human consumption.

Cashion, T., Le Manach, F., Zeller, D. & Pauly, D. Most fish destined for fishmeal production are food-grade fish.
The by-catch (ie uneconomic fish caught by fishermen alongside their intended catch) portion of our fishmeal usage is subject to a traceability system that extends back to the fishmeal plants and original fishing vessels.
