The harvest of aquatic species includes by-catch of unwanted species and these together with processing discards as well as those from the aquaculture fisheries provide an excellent source of raw material for further processing to value-added products. The protein components so produced may be separated and used as such or further hydrolyzed to products that can be used in a variety of applications. These hydrolysates may also be fractionated and used in food as well as non-food application. The isolated biopeptides with different molecular weight and amino acid sequence provide health-promoting components that are good ACE inhibitors and hence may have a positive effect on cardiovascular health and when used infooe may serve as good phosphae replaers iin minimizing the cooking loss due to their moisture retention properties. The presentation provides examples to demonstrate the production, properties and application os such secondary value-added products from fisheries discards.
