Welcome to the course
This free course on the valorisation of aquaculture waste explores the different existing strategies to upgrade the waste and mortalities generated in the aquaculture activities beyond the conventional fish meal production and how they can contribute to a circular economy.
This is one of a series of five free courses prepared under the EU Horizon 2020 project GAIN (Green Aquaculture Intensification). It introduces the context of a circular economy as it applies to byproducts from the aquaculture industry. The materials have been developed under the leadership of Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC), Spain.
