Sustainable Fish Production and Processing

"A unique resource bridging the gap between academia and industry, Sustainable Fish Production and Processing analyzes in detail new, state-of-the-art fish production, processing, and waste management and looks at the potentiality and sustainability of already commercialized processes and products. The book explores general valorization methods, focusing on the extraction of high added-value compounds and their reutilization in different fields of the food, feed, nutraceuticals, and energy industries. Topics discussed surrounding fish production include food security issues, large marine ecosystems, aquaculture genomics, proteomics for quality and safety in fishery products, postharvest practices in small-scale fisheries, and life cycle impact of industrial aquaculture systems. Topics on fish processing and by-products include industrial thawing of fish blocks, sources and functional properties of fish protein hydrolysates, recovery technologies and applications, potential biomedical applications, ready-to-eat products, fish waste for feeding, and lipid extraction from fish processing for biofuels. This book is an excellent resource for food and aquaculture scientists and technologists; food, chemical, and environmental engineers; food industry professionals; and anyone addressing sustainability issues within the fish industry"-
