Fish Emulsions

15 years ago

I got curious today about Fish Emulsions. I have used Fish Emulsion for years but not particularly consistently or scientifically. Today when I Googled it I discovered products calling themselves Fish Emulsion that had N-P-K ratings from 5-1-1 to 2-4-.5 to 7-5-7 to 5-2-2.

Can anyone illuminate this for me?

Great article, landperson, thanks for that. I've wondered about fish emulsion since reading that the Menhaden is now considered a threatened species due to fish oil demand. Also I wondered how fish by products could be shipped from Alaska profitably. Now I know it doesn't come from Alaska.

I no longer use fish emulsion.

Here is a link that might be useful: Are Menhaden Endangered?
