Quality and safety assessment of fertilising products derived from fishery waste and by-products

Fish and aquaculture industries offer great potential for valuable biobased fertilising products, which can be recovered from these industries’ side/waste streams to replace synthetic mineral fertilisers.

In this study, 24 potential fertilising products were collected from 7 pilot-sites in 6 countries which recovered nutrients from fishery waste and by-products using 9 different technologies within H2020 Project SEA2LAND, in which 10 of these products were qualified as organic fertiliser or growing media/soil improver.
