Course description
This course explores modern, eco-conscious methods for managing waste in the fishing and aquaculture industry. You'll study how fish by-products are turned into valuable resources like animal feed, biofuels, enzymes, bioplastics, and natural food additives. The curriculum covers waste treatment technologies such as hydrolysis, anaerobic digestion, filtration, and bioremediation, with real-world examples and European environmental regulations. You'll also learn about energy demands in fish processing and how to assess environmental impact through life cycle analysis. The course integrates innovative uses for fish waste in cosmetics, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals, providing a holistic view of circular economy strategies in the seafood sector.
