In India, the problem of fish waste has concerned considerable attention to the food producers, processors, retailers, and consumers as the waste from fish generated in a huge amount from the fish processing industries, retail markets and also from the by-catch at the fishing harbor. The continuous increase in global fish resources results in 25% of wastage among total fish catch annually. During 2006-07, an estimate of 3,02,750 tones of waste was generated from fish processing industries of India alone. Non-utilization or underutilization of these waste products not only cause negative externalities to society but also lead to environmental pollution and ecological onus. To secure from pollution and to reduce waste, it is now become important to have a comprehensive understanding about the recycle and/or conversion of these fish wastes into useful products of higher nutritive value and betterment of human society. Thus, the effective utilization of fish processing waste materials from the fish processing sectors has been reviewed here.
