The fish processing industry has generally been slow in finding uses for by-products and processing wastes; the application of modern techniques would potentially increases profitability of this sector of the industry. In seeking to redress this, "Fisheries Processing" concentrates on the application of bioprocessing methods to the enhancement of the seafood industry and to the area of recovery and processing of the marine biomass not utilized in traditional fisheries processing operations.
