Abstract

Fish resources are limited, and there is therefore a need to optimize utilization of the catch. In Norway, by-products are defined as products that are not regarded as ordinary saleable products (fillet, round, eviscerated, or beheaded fish), but which can be recycled after treatment. Waste includes products that cannot be used for feed or value-added products, but which have to be composted, burned, or destroyed (Bekkevold, S., and T. Olafsen. 2007. Råvarer med muligheter. Trondheim: RUBIN AS). The E.C. regulation on animal by-products (EC Nr 1774/2002), adopted on 3 October 2002, defines animal by-products as whole carcasses or parts of animals or products not intended for human consumption. Marine by-products intended for human consumption are not included in this definition.
