Matís is working on the project "Marine processing of cod liver oil". The aim of the project is to examine the feasibility of processing liver in high-quality cod liver oil directly after processing on board.
The advantage of this processing compared to land processing is that the raw material could not be fresher than directly after fishing, as opposed to land processing which more often than not has to work with 3-4 days old raw material. This could also allow freezer and icefish trawlers to get higher prices for the liver.
The project runs from June to September 2018 and is funded by AVS.
