Course description

This course explores the integration of sustainability principles into fish processing operations. it focuses on clean technologies, efficient resource use, and innovative waste recovery methods that reduce environmental impact. learners will examine the entire value chain—from energy and water use to effluent treatment, by-product utilization, and carbon footprint analysis. special emphasis is placed on life cycle assessment (lca), cleaner production (cp), and circular economy strategies. the course provides a practical and research-based foundation to support environmentally responsible, socially fair, and economically viable fish processing across industrial and artisanal systems.

What you’ll learn

  • sustainable processing methods for fish and seafood
  • strategies to reduce energy, water use, and emissions
  • effluent management and waste-to-resource innovations
  • use of lca and carbon footprinting in seafood facilities
  • value-added utilization of fish by-products
  • regulatory context for sustainable operations
  • cleaner production and circular economy applications

Who this course is for

  • fish processing professionals and plant operators
  • students in marine sciences, environmental engineering, and food technology
  • sustainability officers and auditors in seafood industries
  • policymakers and ngo staff working in blue economy sectors
  • entrepreneurs and innovators in eco-friendly fish product development
  • anyone aiming to modernize fish processing with sustainable practices
