The pursuit of high-value marine bioproducts is naturally at the heart of the 100% Fish For Profit Conference, and a particular focus for Pernille Bak Post whose contribution will feature in the Research, Development and Novel Markets for Marine Bioproducts session on the opening day.
An Industrial PhD Student at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), in collaboration with Royal Greenland A/S, Post’s target – under the Up-Green header – is the recovery of valuable nutrients from shrimp shells for use in aquaculture feed through a greener and more sustainable processing method.
Her wider interest in the field of side streams and circular economy developed through a broader focus on sustainable fisheries, and the recognition that the truly sustainable use of marine resources also requires making the best possible use of everything harvested from the ocean.
A former Project Manager at Denmark’s North Sea Science Park, Post holds a B.Eng. in Fisheries Technology and an M.Sc. in Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture from DTU Aqua.
She and other speakers at the conference session will highlight how side streams can be transformed into high-value premium products, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutraceuticals, animal nutrition and biomaterials.
