“…The food waste (FW) part is related to consumers' behaviour and is food wasted specifically at the end of the supply chain (Parfitt et al, 2010), such as post‐consumer food waste. Post‐consumer FW is comprised of all food that is left unconsumed, such as household food waste and restaurant plate leftovers (Nasser, Babikian, et al, 2018). Such food waste is a good source of nutrients and can substitute major aquafeed ingredients (Wong et al, 2016).…”

Aquaculture contributes more than half of global seafood production (FAO, 2018), and most of aquaculture today relies on manufactured feeds (FAO, 2020). Aquafeeds generally contain between 30% and 50% proteins, as most aquatic animals require substantial amounts of proteins to grow well (Kaushik & Hemre, 2008;Rombenso et al., 2021). However, feed ingredients rich in protein such as fishmeal (FM) are expensive and non-sustainably produced (Dersjant-Li, 2002), and land-based substitutes are not as environmentally friendly as we wish (Malcorps et al., 2019). Accordingly, finding sustainable and inexpensive but nutritious sources of protein is necessary if the industry is to continue to grow.Food loss and food waste constitute a major challenge for humans, mainly because of their impact on the environment and on food security. More than 850 million people around the world suffer from long-term undernourishment (Buckle, 2015), yet nearly a third of the world's food is lost or wasted every year. The food waste (FW) part is related to consumers' behaviour and is food wasted specifically at the end of the supply chain (Parfitt et al., 2010), such as postconsumer food waste. Post-consumer FW is comprised of all food that is left unconsumed, such as household food waste and restaurant plate leftovers . Such food waste is a good source of nutrients and can substitute major aquafeed ingredients (Wong et al., 2016). However, FW is not a complete source of nutrients for fish as the waste lacks certain vitamins and minerals,
