“…For cephalopods species, cuttlefish by-products (viscera, gonads, beak, skeleton, ink sac, skin, eyes, and gills) presented 30-35% of raw material weight (Aloulou et al, 2006;Le Bihan, 2006). Several studies were conducted to look for potential uses of seafood by-products because they proved that shrimp wastes are a main source of, proteins, chitin, calcium, carotenoid and lipids with a high contents of astaxanthin / ω-3 fatty acid ratio (Sadighara et al, 2014) such as docosahexaenoic acid: DHA and eicosapentaenoique acid: EPA (Babu et al, 2008;Sánchez-Camargo et al, 2011).
