My company has for the last five months been involved in a 

 feasibility study concerning a new product line scheduled for 

 1994. Our study has now evolved into two more product lines, one 

 in an entirely new direction from our start. These new products 

 will have need for a high solids, pasteurized, fish viscera as 

 part of their mix content. 



One products will be used in remediation of heavy laden hydro- 

 carbon soils. This new process will use large quantities of fish 

 viscera, that is if our experiments prove out our hypothesis. 

 This market could account for 8,000 to 12,000 barrels of 

 processed fish viscera in the first year alone. 



The Whiting allocation for shore based processors will have a 

 definate impact on our decisions concerning this new product line 

 and the expansion plans as well. If sufficient quantities cannot 

 be found on the Oregon coast it will be necessary to go further 

 north to locate them. This move north will impact our 

 transportation costs of finished product. 



The future of this project looks excellent if all the parts and 

 plans can be achieved. Employment indirectly could come close to 

 100 and directly we could employ and additional 25 persons on 

 packaging and application of products being developed.
