The discard rate is zero, and by-catch is minimal, thanks to a system aboard its vessels that allows larger, non-targeted fish to easily escape during the loading phase.<\/p>\n<p>A full traceability system is in place throughout the company owned supply chain, from fishery to production facility and finished product manufacturing. This guarantees that no mixing between approved and non-approved sources occurs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSustainability is a core value at Omega Protein and this practice has allowed us to prosper for over a century.
