Some Omega Protein boats return

MOSS POINT, Miss. - Four of the nine boats that left the Omega Protein facility in Moss Point in April have returned and prospects are looking good that the others will also be back, company officials said. Omega Protein's fleet stationed in Moss Point was moved to Louisiana on April 30 as areas of the Gulf of Mexico were closed to fishing due to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The vessels worked out of the company's facilities at Abbeville, La., and Cameron, La. Omega Protein produces Omega-3 fish oil and specialty fish meal products.
