A wide range of seafood species – including fish, shellfish, squid, and bivalves – generate by-products that are often discarded as waste. However, these by-products hold great potential for developing innovative functional food products. Because there is limited opportunity to recycle natural resources, the loss of profit may be accompanied by the loss of ecological sustainability, given that the “wastes” of industrial processing can account for up to 75% of entire organisms. Depending on the species and taxa under consideration, fish heads, viscera, skin, bones, scales, exoskeletons, pens, ink, and clam shells can all be regarded as valuable wastes in varying weight percentages. Beyond a few underutilized sources of protein, the most promising and innovative applications of by-products from fisheries and aquaculture are emerging in the field of biotechnology. These by-products, often considered waste, are now recognized for their potential to serve as valuable raw materials in various high-value industries. Specifically, marine-derived by-products, such as fish skins, bones, scales, viscera, and shells, are being explored for the extraction of bioactive compounds, enzymes, collagen, gelatin, and other functional ingredients. These compounds have shown great promise in pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, agriculture, and environmental sustainability. As research advances, the biotechnological exploitation of marine by-products is expected to play a crucial role in promoting a circular economy and reducing waste in the seafood industry
