Abstract

The objective of this study was to create new products using fish residues as well as to reduce environmental pollution, thus preventing the waste of nutrients, reduction of costs involved in the animal feed production chain and in organic agriculture, to be indirectly used as human food. With added value and increased food safety, these new products can be used as supplements for traditional fish meals, resulting in an immediate reduction in the importation of this ingredient essential for agribusiness. Results showed that the resulting organic meals have low production cost and high biological value regarding essential amino acids, fatty acids, minerals and vitamins, providing an alternative to solve the environment problem related to fish residues.
