Foreign species of fish that have been damaging the Lake Biwa ecosystem in Japan will now be turned into petfood, according to The Mainichi Daily News.
In the past, the 400 to 500 tons of fish retrieved from the lake were only used in livestock feed, but due to the presence of vitamin E and taurine in the fish, it was suggested by food analysis company Hiyoshi to also use the species in petfood.
A company on Lake Biwa's Okishima Island started developing a fish-based product with Hiyoshi in February.
The petfood consists of black bass and bluegill fish and can be used as dog or cat food.
