FISHERY AND PROCESSING
February 29, 2012 08:25
HB Grandi's capelin production has been going very well recently and roe extraction began last Sunday at both Akranes and Vopnafjordur factories. The roes are judged to be 75% mature, and although this is not enough for the Japanese market, this still makes it possible to produce top-quality industrial roe. The roe content in the capelin at the front of the migration off Reykjanes was around 23-24% early this week and the start of roe extraction and freezing for the Japanese market is not far off, reports www.megafishnet.com.
