June 16/Energy Weekly News -- Omega Protein Corporation, a producer of omega-3 fish oil and specialty fish meal products, announced an update on its fishing efforts as of the close of business on June 6, 2010, the end of the seventh week of the company's 2010 fishing season. As of that date, the company's total fish catch (Gulf of Mexico plus Atlantic) was at approximately 100% of the company's total 2010 fish catch plan. However, the company's Gulf of Mexico fish catch was 17% behind its Gulf of Mexico 2010 fish catch plan.

These percentages are based on the company's projected fish catch plan for the 2010 fishing season, which in turn is based on historical fish catch data that varies from year to year. In addition, these percentages are based only on data for a portion of a full fishing season. The company cautions that, because of the volatility of fish catch generally and the unpredictability of future effects of the oil spill specifically, no projections or extrapolations should be made from these numbers.
