Recent surveys indicate that the major marine sources of omega-3 ingredients are being managed sustainably, despite lingering concerns about climate change. Anchovy fisheries in Peru and Chile supply more than two-thirds of the world's marine omega-3 supply, with tuna and mackerel oils playing minor roles.
Sustainability concerns over omega-3s first emerged in the mid-2000s as demand grew.
The findings suggest no near-term supply restriction on marine omega-3 raw materials, so there is little direct price pressure. Fishmeal and fish oil supply remains dependent on Peruvian and Chilean anchovy catches, which is the variable to watch.
