The aquaculture and fishery chain is an important part of the economy of many countries around the world; in recent years it has experienced significant growth that generates more and more quantities of waste, which are mostly discarded, impacting the environment, despite having a useful chemical composition in various industrial sectors. This article presents a review of the agroindustrial potential of fish wastes, especially viscera, as a source for obtaining native protein and hydrolysates, explaining their production process, chemical composition and functional and bioactive properties that are important to the agricultural, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food and nutraceutical industry.

Keywords: production; bioactive properties; protein hydrolysates; fish viscera; functional bioactive
