Abstract
This study aimed to provide an updated assessment of the "Fish Silage Production and Use in the Caribbean Feasibility Study for Barbados and St. Kitts and Nevis" conducted by Drakes et al. (2020). The primary objective of this update was to quantify and map the generation of waste from various sources throughout the island and to closely examine the methods employed for the utilisation of this waste in Barbados. The methodology of this study consisted of 18 key informant interviews with stakeholders in the industry and a literature review. All 6 of the major fish processing plants were interviewed. Twelve (12) out of 13 landing sites monitored by the Fisheries Division of Barbados were interviewed.
