This proposal is to initiate collaboration between the applicant and the industrial partner, SeaDNA Canada Inc.**SeaDNA is engaged in processing and sale of seal meat products from seal discards and seeks the collaboration**to improve its existing food products and develop new ones for the Canadian functional food products market.**Seals are marine mammals that inhabit the northernmost Atlantic and Arctic Oceans. Parts of eastern Canada**used to boast a brisk and lucrative commercial seal industry in the early 1500s till the latter part of the 20th**century, when portrayal of the hunt as an "inhumane" practice by animal rights activists reached its peak.**Anti-sealing campaigns led to banning of seal imports from Canada by EU countries and Russia; causing dire**impacts on Canada's seal industry, in terms of loss of revenue and livelihood, and passing of strict government**rules to regulate the hunt. Nonetheless, the seal population has been exploding since the early 2000s, and the**herd size has been steady around 8 million animals. Seals feed on a variety of high-value fish species including**Atlantic cod, Greenland halibut, shrimps and prawns; and the booming herd is said to be contributing to the**recent depletion of cod stocks. Thus, putting seal discards to high-value use would alleviate animal rights**concerns, allow seal hunt to be restored in some form, protect fish stocks, sustain a culture, create jobs, and**protect the environment. The adult seal grows to 5.5-6.5 ft long and weighs 115-140 kg. This consists of 44%**carcass, 29% blubber, 18% viscera, and 8% pelt/skin. The pelt/skins are used as covering and leather products,**but the bulk of the animal is not widely consumed due to its dark color, rapid flavor deterioration, and a general**unawareness about its nutritive value. In Canada, common products derived from seal carcass include silage,**animal feed; and to a lesser extent, local foods such as flipper pies, seal jerky, and smoked seal meat.**Nonetheless, seal meat is lean (<3% fat); and rich in high quality proteins, n-3 PUFAs, MUFAs, minerals and**vitamins. Thus, new products can be produced from the discards for the Canadian functional foods sector; and**SeaDNA is dedicated to producing such health food products for the Canadian and international markets.

该建议是为了开始申请人与工业合作伙伴之间的合作，Seadna Canada Inc. ** Seadna致力于从海豹丢弃的加工和销售海豹肉产品，并寻求合作**改善其现有食品并为加拿大功能性食品市场开发新的食品。加拿大东部的部分地区**在1500年代初期一直拥有活跃而有利可图的商业印章行业，直到20 **世纪后期，当时将狩猎描绘成动物权利活动家的“不人道”实践，达到了顶峰。造成可怕的**会影响加拿大的印章行业，收入损失和生计以及通过严格的政府**规则来规范狩猎的规则。尽管如此，印章人口自2000年代初以来一直在爆炸，**牛群的大小约为800万只动物。海豹以各种高价值鱼类为食，包括**大西洋鳕鱼，格陵兰大比目鱼，虾和大虾；据说蓬勃发展的牛群有助于近期的鳕鱼库存。因此，将密封丢弃到高价值使用将减轻动物权利**的问题，允许以某种形式恢复海豹狩猎，保护鱼类种群，维持文化，创造就业机会，并**保护环境。成年密封长到5.5-6.5英尺，重115-140千克。这包括44％** car体，29％的泡沫，18％的内脏和8％的皮肤/皮肤。毛皮/皮肤被用作覆盖物和皮革产品，**但由于其深色，快速的风味恶化以及对其营养价值的普遍**，该动物的大部分并没有被广泛食用。在加拿大，源自密封尸​​体的普通产品包括青贮饲料，**动物饲料；在较小程度上，当地食物，例如鳍状馅饼，密封生涩和熏制的密封肉。并富含高质量的蛋白质，N-3 Pufas，Mufas，矿物质和**维生素。因此，可以从加拿大功能性食品部门的丢弃中生产新产品。 ** Seadna致力于为加拿大和国际市场生产此类保健食品。
