Omega Protein is the world's largest manufacturer of heart-healthy fish oils containing omega-3 fatty acids for human consumption, as well as specialty fish meals and fish oil used as value-added ingredients in aquaculture, swine and other livestock feeds. Omega Protein makes its products from menhaden, a member of the herring family. They are small high oil-yielding fish that are naturally rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA. Menhaden are harvested in U.S. waters along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts.
The Company utilizes a fleet of fishing vessels supported by spotter aircraft to supply menhaden to its four processing facilities in Louisiana, Mississippi and Virginia. We provide more than 1,000 jobs in the states where we operate.
