This is a liquid fish hydrolysate, so the oils, amino acids, vitamins, hormones, and enzymes are all present. Many people swear by this as a foliar feed. If mixed with EM and left to sit for a few hours before diluting with water and spraying, the odour will be negligible. There is a golf course that uses this as their only source of nitrogen!
I have done a fair bit of research on the "sustainability" of this product and from what I can gather, it is okay. While it is my belief that we should be careful not to overfish our seas as many species are threatened or already extinct, the Pacific Dog Shark is apparently fished sustainably here in BC below the total allowable catch. The fishery that supplies fish for this product is in the process of undergoing third party assessment by the Marine Stewardship Council, at a cost of more than $100,000. Also, the product uses fresh fish that are a byproduct of goods made for human consumption, therefore diverting them from the landfill.
The product contains 3% phosphoric acid to extend the shelf life from a few weeks to a few years. If it didn't contain this, the bottles would explode due to microbial action and the associated gases that are formed. This is allowed under OMRI and other North American organic standards.
