Mr. Richard Donnelly:

BIM has been working on boarfish for a very long time. We have produced fillets, we have sent them out to China and we have had very good market reception on that. We have seen an uptake in the technology to do that more efficiently. If the fish is there, we have new technologies to handle it in a better way and there are very good market prospects for that. It is ongoing work and we are doing it in tandem with Teagasc to look at other aspects such as powderising that and using it as a food additive. There is quite a bit of work going on in that area.
