More than a thousand tonnes of fish bone wastes can be transformed into biomedical products annually. Alkaline hydrolysis and thermal calcification were used to create nanosized hydroxyapatite (HAp) crystals from Silver carp bone wastes. Biophysical tests were used to determine the nano size and chemical composition of synthesised hydroxyapatite.

- The study analyzed and compared collagen extracted from the skin of bony (silver carp) and cartilaginous (milk shark) fishes, finding a higher yield of collagen from silver carp (69.45% vs. 55.29%).
- Techniques like SDS PAGE confirmed the presence of type 1 collagen, while FTIR, XRD, and CD studies established its structural stability and conformation.
- Silver carp collagen showed better antioxidant activity (53.65% vs. 45.9%), along with superior haemocompatibility and cell viability, suggesting its potential for various applications in tissue engineering, cosmetics, and food industries.
