Abstract
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: Bioactivity; Fish viscera; Functional properties; Peptides; Protein hydrolysates
