Abstract

Collagen is obtained from the bones, skins and scales of aquatic animals. It is made up of three polypeptide chains linked together to form a tertiary structure. It serves a structural role within the tissue where it provides flexibility within the tissue matrix. Collagen can be processed into various forms, and it finds applications in high-value products such as scaffolds in tissue engineering. Aquatic-derived collagen serves as an alternative to porcine or bovine sourced collagen, thus eliminating associated health risk or ethical concerns associated with the collagen sourced from these land animals. Since collagen can be obtained from the parts of the aquatic animals that are generally not consumed as food, the production of collagen contributes toward management of waste resources as well as optimal utilization of aquatic resources.
