Abstract
The development of marine biotechnology in Québec relies on a network of several processing plants of marine seafoods and fishes, a fleet of a thousand coastal and mid shore boats, and many aquaculture companies. Québec's marine biotechnology industry is still very young, in existence just under 20 years. It is distinguished by a dozen small and medium-sized businesses and diverse companies and organizations. Already in the province, the interest of multinational companies in the sector and in the innovative products generated by the smallest biotech is increasing. This paper is an overview of science and innovation activities focusing on the industrial realizations in Québec and introducing some examples of marine by-product valorization, and exploitation of seaweed and microorganisms.
