The issue The research issue reviews the potential biotechnological ways for adding value to marine wastes, under the constraint of availability of raw material (landings and imports) and its location in the Western part of France. S. Gréaux
Fishing, aquaculture EU definition of waste non traded by-catch Coproduct 3
Human consumption (40-60 %) Heads (9-12 %) Skin (1-3 %) Viscera (12-18 %) Deboned meat (15-20 %) Bones (9-15 %) By-product (60-40%) In the past, these by-products have often been dumped or used without treatment for animal feed or as fertilizer. However, due to the worldwide decline of fish stocks, a better use of by-products is deemed necessary.
Biotechnological solutions to maximise the value of by-products (with examples of markets/products
Landings and imports Functions : First transformation: filleting,seafood processing Second transformation : canning, curing, cooked dishes, … Fish processing Collection and Transportation : Skins, heads, viscera, bones, deboned meat Collection • By-products : • - fishmeal and oil, • collagen and gelatin • - chondroitin sulfate , • pulp, • hydrolysates, • flavors • chitin… • By-products • processing Formulation Production of nutraceutics (mixture of active compounds). Co-product supply (wholesale or retail business). Sellers
The case study : Western France (80% of the French primary production of fish)
Landings in 2007, Western part of France (80% of the French primary production of fish) LANDINGS (tonnes) Main species with potential for by-products 41 839 t WHITE FISH (excl.

Around 50 % can be used for direct human consumption. Consequently, the other 50% (70 000 tonnes of raw material) could be processed as co-product (excluding imports). • However, the upgrading of marine by-products is under several • constraints : • Technological possibilities (according group of species) • Supply chain (availabilities of raw material) • Marketing channels (governance between stake-holders, logistics and • transportation) Results are presented according to the level of landings : - by biotechnological applications - by group of species
Landings > 40 000 t in 2007
Landings > 10 000 t to 30 000 t in 2007
Landings < 10 000 t in 2007

Discussion Relationship between the available quantity of species (by group) and biotechnological ways for adding value to marine by-products deserves a preliminary discussion before planning global strategies. In this respect, globalization of fish markets must be taken into account, modifying location strategies of processors. (Photo S. GREAUX)
An harbour value chain as a matter of fact … • Fish landings and processing in the same harbours as a matter of fact… • A perishable product which requires the proximity of stakeholders. • Harbours exhibit a know-how in fish processing.
Apparent consumption and production of aquatic products in France between 1993 et 2007 (source : France Agrimer) …which becomes out of date: Structural changes of the value chain: the growing importance of imports, especially farmed species raises the issue of the location of the downstream steps of the chain.
Discussion On the one side, biomass abundance is subject to fluctuations (fishing impact and climate change) modifying the level of landings in time. On the other side, imports of wild and farmed fish allow to secure supplies. Let us notice that imports are not included in this analysis. But, the more crucial aspect in the perspective of maximising the value of by-products is the necessary change in the organisation of the industry (governance issues). The traditional link between stakeholders (fishermen, auction markets, processing plants) has then to be reassessed. Source: A. Penven
