Abstract

There are three main categories of marine collagens: collagens of invertebrate origin (sponges, jellyfish, molluscs), fish collagens, and marine mammal collagens. Marine fish collagens isolated from skin, meat, scales, fins and waste materials are of particular interest from an industrial point of view. Different types of fish collagen-based biomaterials (gels, scaffolds, sponges, films, membranes, composites) and their biomedical application are discussed in this chapter.
