We explore fish as a sustainable and ethical source of collagen for biomaterial development. Unlike collagen derived from cows or pigs, fish-based collagen offers a halal-compatible alternative without compromising performance or functionality. With fish resources being abundant and underutilized, our research aims to transform this natural material into high-value biomaterials for health, cosmetic, and biomedical applications — promoting innovation that aligns with both sustainability and cultural values.
