Abstract:

Collagen is one of the predominant proteins in the living body, and the essential protein component in connective tissue. At least 27 different collagen types have been identified so far. Aquatic collagen has drawn extensive attention for its excellent physiochemical properties and physiologically active functions. In this review, we summarize the present advances in extraction methods and applications of aquatic collagen and make prospects for future research.

Key words: aquatic animal, collagen, extraction method, application
