Abstract : The aquaculture and fisheries industries are famed for producing wholesome waste and/or by-products, mostly underrated or downgraded to insignificant grounds. Even so, this ignored sector fosters high-price bioactive molecules that exhibit value added derivatives and their invaluable applications. Reinforcement of the blue economy along with vibrant expansion of fisheries prioritizes a wild as well as sustainable exploitation of marine resources. The increasing demand for sustainable and eco-friendly practices in various industries has led to a growing interest in the utilization of biowaste, particularly from the fishing industry. Fish biowaste, including skin, bones, and scales, is rich in valuable compounds such as gelatin, a protein with diverse applications in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and agriculture. Recovering gelatin from fish biowaste not only provides a sustainable solution for waste management but also offers a promising alternative to traditional mammalian-derived gelatin. Fish gelatin is a propitious substitute to innate gelatin, which faces religious restrictions. Gelatin derived from fish skin and bones is recognized for being biodegradable, with good film-forming capacity, making it a potential replacement for natural gelatin. Applications include edible coatings, microencapsulation and active packaging, benefiting from gelatin’s antioxidant and antimicrobial qualities. In this review article, we discuss a comprehensive summary of gelatin recovered from fish biowastes and their recent multifarious advances.

Keywords : Agriculture, Aquaculture, Biocompatibility, Biopolymers, Biomedical, Cosmetics, Drug Delivery, Fisheries, Gelatin, Hydrogels, Pharmaceuticals, Polyhydroxyalkanoates, Protein Hydrolysates, Waste.
