Posted On: June 11, 2009

China’s first flow production line for the comprehensive processing of fish scales, developed by Shanghai Fisheries Research Institute, was put into use. This line can “eat up” 40-50 tons per month of residual fish scales from aquatic products processing operations and turn out a series of highly value-added processed products, such as collagen protein, gelatin, animal feeds. The technology is internationally advanced and capable of being industrialized. It was estimated that the line will generate an economic benefit of 25 thousand RMB yuan from every ton of fish scales.
