HC Deb 19 December 1967 vol 756 c374W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what research he is doing to provide fish protein concentrate to meet an animal feeding requirement by tapping the marine ecological chain at an early stage, by filtering out and processing concentrates of small crustaceans living in the sea.

Mr. Hoy:

The Natural Environment Research Council are considering an investigation of Antarctic krill as a potential source of protein, but the development of techniques for the commercial catching and utilisation of these crustaceans presents problems of great difficulty.
