This book provides information about the principal biotechnological strategies (enzyme-assisted extraction, liquid fermentation, and solid-state fermentation) used for the bioactive compounds (bioactive peptides, carotenoids, phenolic acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, among others) extraction from the marine resource (marine animals, microalgae, seaweed, among others) and wastes (crustaceans, fish, and others). This book also highlights the importance of bioactive compounds in marine resources and wastes and the perspectives for a potential industrial application. This book is oriented to researchers related to marine resources and marine wastes, who apply their knowledge in the innovation of the extraction and application of bioactive compounds from these sources. Moreover, this book will also provide knowledge and areas of opportunity for entrepreneurs, different industries, and the development of new products that could be used in the overall improvement of different areas such as human health.
