Due to increased focus on a circular bioeconomy, full utilization of marine biomass, including side streams from the seafood processing industry as well as utilization of biomass that has not been used to a great extent in the Western world (e.g., seaweed), is receiving increased attention from both academia and industry. These forms of marine biomass contain a wide range of interesting biomolecules with beneficial health and/or functional properties, which can be exploited for applications in food, feed, dietary supplements or pharma. However, there are several challenges to be overcome. Six high quality research papers about opportunities and challenges in this area of research have been published in this Special Issue.
