Abstract
Introduction. This paper is presented in the
framework of the project “Alternatives for the use
of by-products derived from fishing agribusiness”,
Universidad del Cauca, through the research
group: Harvesting of Byproducts and Agro-industrial
Residues, ASUBAGROIN, which aims at the
development and implementation of technologies
and innovations for the use of by-products generated
by the fishery activity, in order to improve research
and innovation capacities in that specific subsector.
Objective. The purpose of this paper is to prioritize
innovations in fish by-products by consulting experts
to identify innovation, technology and knowledge
management activities for the institutions involved in
the sector. Materials and methods. The methodology
consisted in the application of the Delphi method
through a structured and anonymous survey with
national and international experts on topics related to
the fish farming industry, using a questionnaire of 143
items divided in five groups, in order to choose priority

topics. Results. The questionnaires were filled out by
37 experts from Colombia, Brazil, the United States,
Mexico and Uruguay; a total of 54 priority themes
were obtained, corresponding to 38% of the topics
presented. Among the topics of greatest consensus
and mode are the formulation of concentrated
foods, partial substitution of fishmeal, extrusion of
concentrated foods, Omega-3 rich oil, probiotics,
bioaccumulation, microalgae of fish processing
wastewater, technological appropriation, technological
evaluation, measurement of intellectual capital,
innovation processes, and technological strategies.
Conclusions. One of the main contributions of the
study is the benefit for current players in the fish
innovation system and new ones, such as technology
development centers and new ventures, since they
will have a route map of innovations on which to focus
their investments and project initiatives.
