Every year about 130 millions of tons of fishes are caught

or produced

7.3 millions are rejected into the seas

Problematic

1. Lack of space

2. Sanitary aspects

3. High constraint for fishermen

Solution

1. Volumetric reduction

2. Storage in cold chamber

3. Product of direct interest for fishermen

Level of action: on board

22

Problematic

1. Who are the actors ?

2. Which flux ?

3. What quality ?

4. How to take a decision ?

Principle

1. Database analysis + Surveys

2. Cartography of the flux

3. Analysis of biochemical variations (zone, season, nature…)

4. Development of decisional tools

Level of action: in land

25

Problematic

1. Improvement at economic and environmental levels

2. New applications (new markets)

3. Up scaling (lab � pilot � industrial)

Principle

1. Process simulation + LCA of the products

2. Improvement of existing process or development of new ones

2. Research of new application fields

3. Claims validation

Level of action: in upgrading factories

26

Some realizations

Global interest

1. Federate the Atlantic actors and contribute to a

better use and a diversification of activities

2. Cartography of the marine biomass flux in the west

3. Waste management on board

Particular interest

1. Research and validation of claims for industrial products

of nutraceutical interest

2. Aromatic upgrading of cooking juices

3. Oil refinery
