Abstract Mostly, collagen is obtained from mammalian sources, but its use is limited because of high cost and various allergic reactions. In this review, different alternative sources of collagen were explored and methods for isolation and peptide generations are summarized. Bioactive peptides are short sequences of 2–20 amino acid residues with positive effect on human health. This review summarizes various biological activities of sea food derived peptides/hydrolysates includes antioxidant, inflammatory, antifreeze, angiotension-I converting enzyme (ACE-I) inhibition, antimicrobial, antiaging, wound healing and anticoagulant activities. Moreover, this review also highlights the therapeutic potential and importance of sea-food derived peptides in various pharmaceutical, biomedical, food and cosmetic industries. This review also proposes biological solution for utilization of seafood derived waste in the development of collagen-based food ingredients that is otherwise cause environmental pollution.
