Bioactivity of the Protein Hydrolysates Obtained from the Most Abundant Crustacean Bycatch.

The animals from bycatch of the shrimp fisheries can be a source of natural products and bioactive compounds. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the bioactivity of protein hydrolysates prepared from the two most abundant crabs from the bycatch of shrimp fisheries in Brazil (Callinectes ornatus and Hepatus pudibundus). Samples of C.
