Descripción
This report looks at the generation and management of fish by-products resulting from the primary production process that is undertaken by the fish processing industry. Different by-products are generated in different countries and some specific cases are highlighted, in particular, in Norway, Mexico, France and China, among others. A consideration of the utilization and marketing of processed by-products generated by the seafood industry forms the core of the report and covers the range of opti ons from waste disposal to the production of value-added products that present income-generating market opportunities. Market opportunities for specific resources, such as those generated from tilapia, shrimp and other crustaceans, catfish and mussels are detailed. Future trends include the identification and utilization of a variety of compounds such as oils, proteins, pigments and minerals that could be used as fertilizers, nutraceuticals and various food ingredients. Finally, the regulation o f by-products, their usage and disposal is addressed.
