The aquatic environment is constantly changing. New research, technologies, policies, discoveries and environmental challenges continue to reshape the way we understand and manage our oceans, rivers, lakes and coastal ecosystems.
WASMaN's Knowledge Bites bring these developments closer to you through concise, accessible and practical knowledge resources.
The newest release in WASMaN's five-part series, presented from the latest issue backwards.
Latest · Part 5
The final part of the series explores responsible fish consumption and the safe recovery of fish by-products. It highlights how a circular fisheries value chain can reduce waste while creating opportunities from fish meal, fish oil, organic fertilizer, leather, collagen and gelatin.
Continue through the fisheries value chain series from Part 4 back to Part 1, followed by the earlier Aquaculture and IUU Fishing Knowledge Bites.
Part 4 examines the phase that connects fish products to profitable markets, covering transport, distribution, cold-chain services, wholesale, retail and digital fish marketing.
Part 3 focuses on handling, processing and packaging after harvest, showing how these activities preserve fish quality, improve food safety, reduce losses and create higher-value products.
