Mr. Amnuay explained that the fishmeal industry has been around for more than 50 years, with approximately 50% of fishmeal being caught for production. 400,000-500,000 tons until Thailand encountered the problem of IUU Fishing, there was only a small amount of fishmeal left. 260,000-300,000 tons only, resulting in fishmeal factories decreasing from over 100 to only 60-70. However, the fishmeal industry has given importance to the issue of resource sustainability and has always cooperated well with the Fisheries Department.
