Description:Sixty percent of the world's seafood resources are currently being harvested, therefore, in order to increase seafood production, the existing landings must be used more efficiently. The clupeoid fishes have the highest potential yield of any fishery resource in the west- central Atlantic Ocean, Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea areas. The more important species within the group include the Gulf menhaden, "Brevoortia patronus", and the Atlantic menhaden, "B. tyrannus", which are fully exploited on a harvesting basis but not on the basis of potential economic value. Total production of the two species was 2.5 billion pounds in 1980. Over 99% of total landings were reduced to meal, oil, and solubles, and the rest was used for bait or canned pet food. The purpose of this study was to determine the technical feasibilities of surimi from Gulf menhaden.
