Discards

Discards are the portion of the organic material of animal origin in the catch, which is thrown back into the sea either because of low value or legal requirements. Discards could be dead or alive. Fish offal is not included.

Side-streams

Side-streams are solid or liquid parts of fish and other marine organisms, generated by the industrial processing and consisting of unprocessed fish and parts of fish, such as heads, tails, fins, scales, bones, blood, skins, flesh, roe, viscera, as well as the organic parts of other marine organisms (shellfish, shells…), which are not intended for human consumption.

Fish waste

Fish waste includes the by-catch and Side-streams produced either on board, in land and by industries. Also the incidental catch when it is dead.
By-catch: The unintentional capture of non-target fish species.
Fish: Includes all fishes and other aquatic species such as crustaceans, cephalopods and mollusks.
Incidental catch: Rare events as catches of marine mammals, turtles or seabirds.

Handling

Handling is the manner of elaborating fish and removing different side-streams of each specimen (head, viscera, tails, fins, liver).

Dumping

Dumping is the disposal into the sea of fish waste or organic materials resulting from the processing activities on board of vessels.
