Aquaculture Advancements Through Bioactive Molecules
Abstract: A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of …
