Your salmon dinner starts with a fish you've probably never heard of: the Peruvian anchovy. Almost none of it makes it to a plate. They grind it into fishmeal, and Peru supplies about a fifth of the world's supply. 🧵

DDGS was $225.70/t in the September monthly benchmark, at its 52-week high. October fishmeal was $2,840/t, down 2.6% month on month and at 93% of its 52-week range. Neither is a current local quote.
DDGS and fishmeal benchmarks: check the dates
The September DDGS reading was at its 52-week high, while October fishmeal was near the top of its range. Both are monthly benchmarks, so buyers should refresh local offers before comparing ingredients.

The truth behind aquaculture and fish farming
The truth behind aquaculture and fish farming
Aquaculture was designed to relieve pressure off of the world’s fish supply. Instead, it’s compromised it. Small fish are farmed, cooked, and grounded into fishmeal at the more than 1,400 fishmeal factories across the world – nine of which are located in Canada. The conditions inside and around ...

The truth behind aquaculture and fish farming
That fishmeal feeds salmon and shrimp farms, plus hogs and poultry. So when the anchovy catch fails, feed gets pricier, and sooner or later you see it at the seafood counter. Maybe even in the meat aisle.

Timing differs. Fishmeal rose more than 40% from May to September 2026. Palm oil and rubber usually follow 9 to 16 months after the drought, so in 2027. A palm oil buyer still has time to review stocks and contracts. Full analysis published by Darwin.

Argentina: The Stench and Sustainability of Fishmeal
Tourism officials once promoted Punta Mogotes, in the seaside city of Mar del Plata, as a destination of “vast and intimate beaches” and a “spectacular, diverse seashore.” Then visitors arrived.

"The reduction industry represents a stark example of [Daniel Pauly's concept of] 'fishing down the food web,' where fishing shifts toward smaller, less valuable species as larger, predatory fish stocks decline.

The Outlaw Ocean Project spent years investigating hidden costs of fishmeal and fish oil. To trace the supply chain from ocean vessel to local grocer, they relied heavily on custom AI and data science.
