The 3rd edition of Fish Waste for Profit is taking place separately to the Icelandic Fisheries Exhibition for the first time from 10-11 April 2019 in Reykjavik, Iceland.

  • Processing – techniques and equipment
  • Utilisation of discarded parts from wild catch vs aquaculture
  • Prospects for re-utilisation of shellfish and crustacean by-products
  • Opportunities in the Icelandic and European market
  • Opportunities in the North American market
  • Production of fish oils, enzymes, dietary supplements
  • Leather, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals
  • Investment and financing – private and public
