Ceara is the largest shrimp producer with 50% of all production. About 40% of the shrimp weight is considered waste. The reuse of shrimp farming waste through biotechnological resources emerges as an innovative alternative to reduce environmental pollution. This study aimed to perform a selection of lactic bacteria strains for composing a consortium able to process shrimp waste biotechnologically. For the consortium selection some studies were performed such as chemical kinetics. As to fermentation kinetic parameters, Lact06, Lact07 and Lact14 strains showed the best results. During shrimp heads fermentation Lact06 and Lact14 consortium produced the highest lactic acid yields, about 100 g.L-1. The data showed that it is technologically feasible to transform shrimp farming waste into added-value products by lactic fermentation and proper disposition of shrimp farming waste.
