Aquafeeds
With byproducts representing between 25 to 50 percent of the weight of various fish species, we need to be looking at how the entire fish is being used: even the heads, guts and skin.

Gorjan Nikolik, senior industry analyst for Rabobank, presented on fishmeal’s transformation from commodity to a “high-priced strategic protein” at the Global Aquaculture Alliance’s annual GOAL conference in Vancouver. See the full video of his presentation.
Aquafeeds
Gamma irradiation treatment presents a possible processing technique for reducing anti-nutrients and improving the nutritive quality of many feed ingredients.
Aquafeeds
The authors conducted a study to determine how replacement of salmon meal with various animal protein meals in feed affected the growth performance of white shrimp.
Health & Welfare
New cost-effective additives, such as fishery byproducts, will likely be needed to meet the increasing demand for feeding stimulants by aquafeed producers.
Health & Welfare
Meat recovered from seafood processing byproducts could be combined with nutraceutical ingredients to form customizable seafood items.
Aquafeeds
Wastes produced during food processing can be treated to generate a valuable single-cell protein ingredient for aquafeed with protein and amino acid content similar to fishmeal.
Aquafeeds
Animal byproducts like blood meal, meat and bone meal and other rendered products are good sources of cholesterol for use in aquaculture feed.
Health & Welfare
Although its final quality can be variable, fish silage can be an effective protein supplement in feeds for various fish, shellfish and terrestrial animals.
Intelligence
Shrimp processing byproducts are constructively used in shrimp or fish feeds, livestock feeds and plant fertilizer. Chitin from shrimp exoskeletons is used in bandages and varied cosmetic products.
Responsibility
It is technologically feasible to recover functional muscle proteins and lipids from fish processing byproducts using isoelectric solubilization/precipitation.
Responsibility
West Virginia University developed a lipid and protein recovery process from byproducts that reduces disposal concerns in the process of fish processing.
Aquafeeds
Of all the sources of animal protein and energy available for aquafeeds, the largest is rendered animal byproducts.
