Abstract
Products made from fish and fish processing waste are major sources of high-protein ingredients used by the animal feed and pet food industry, and of fish oil used for both human and animal consumption. Fish and fish processing waste are also used to produce speciality feed ingredients for aquaculture feeds, fertilizers for agriculture and home gardening, pharmaceuticals, industrial products, such as chitin, baits, and other specialized products, such as fish leather and pearl essence. The use of fish and fisheries by-products in many of these applications was known to aboriginal peoples, and utilization of these products in society today differs mainly in the scale and technology of product preparation, rather than in how the products are used. Nevertheless, what appear to be new and exciting uses for fisheries by-products continue to be developed, and any possibility that might result in an increase in the utilization of these by-products is welcome, given the quantity of fisheries by-products that are being underutilized or not utilized at all.
