Abstract

Fish is rich in many compounds of interest chemical and nutritional to the pharmaceutical and food industries. These compounds can be present in the lipid and protein fraction of fish, crustaceans, algae and microalgae used for human consumption and also the material discarded as waste processing. The growth registered in the global production of fish in recent decades, promoted the increased volume of waste generated by the production chain. However, this residue poses serious environmental pollution problems, mainly due to lack of proper destination. This project integrates research "Management and sustainability of marine fish agribusiness with a focus on recycling and using waste", funded by CAPES (Process No. 23038.051665/2009-04 - 23038.051665/2009-04 - Edital Ciências do Mar), which seeks to contribute to the sustainable and natural resources, as well as minimize the adverse impact that the waste generated by this sector has on the environment, looking for responsible and sustainable management of fish agribusiness. It is also part of a thematic project approved by the edict MCT/CNPq/CT-Agronegócio/MPA N° 36/2009, which studies all phases of the production chain from one species of marine fish pioneer in Brazil, Beijupira (Rachycentron canadum). In this sense, several parallel studies are being proposed specific actions of environmental and ecological development and program management practices and sustainable processes to reduce, reuse and recycle the waste produced by the fish production chain, turning it into by-products that increase revenue, according to the selectivity and the vertical integration process. This project aims to investigate chemical and nutritional compounds and add value to co-products from tilapia and beijupira processing in order to increase the sustainability in the supply chain.
