ABOUT BYFISH

Research with a real origin. Innovation with a human destination.

ByFish is built at the intersection of academic research, fish processing, biotechnology and a very practical challenge: transforming protein into food experiences that can be easier to consume.

Ana Maria da Silva

A journey built through research

Ana Maria da Silva’s journey began in 2008, during undergraduate studies, in projects related to introducing fish into school meals in Marechal Cândido Rondon. Her research later moved through different environments, from work with artisanal fishing communities in Rio de Janeiro to a PhD in Sustainable Rural Development at Unioeste.

From academic research to purpose-driven innovation

Throughout this journey, knowledge about mechanically separated fish meat, processing and utilization opened the door to new applications. During a difficult family moment, Ana Maria directed that technical background toward developing a protein ice cream, seeking to combine comfort of consumption with higher protein intake.

Research begins with fish utilization and school food in Marechal Cândido Rondon.
Studies at the Admiral Paulo Moreira Institute for Sea Studies, Brazilian Navy, working with fish-based products and artisanal fishing communities in Arraial do Cabo.
Research in Sustainable Rural Development at Unioeste, within the Paraná tilapia production ecosystem.
Recognition in innovation events: awards at Aquishow Brasil and 3rd place in the Fish Innovation Marathon at Seafood Show Latin America / AgriFutura.
ByFish brings together research, food development, consulting and new protein application lines.
