The present work was aimed to isolate and characterise collagen from fringescale sardinella (Sardinella fimbriata) waste materials using two extraction methods; acid soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin soluble collagen (PSC). The physical and chemical properties of extracted collagens were characterised in terms of protein concentration, structural, solubility and morphological properties. The yields of extracted collagen were 7.48 ± 4.84% for ASC and 0.94 ± 0.22% for PSC. The protein concentrations for ASC and PSC were significantly (p < 0.05) lower than commercial collagen (from tilapia scale). Functional groups for extracted collagens such as amide A (3400-3440 cm-1), amide II (1400-1600 cm-1), and amide III (1200-1500 cm- 1) bands were in the same range as commercial collagen. A higher solubility of commercial collagen and ASC was observed under acidic conditions while PSC was highly soluble under alkaline conditions. Morphological study showed that the collagen had a flaky and fibrillary structure. ASC and PSC exhibited similar properties to the commercial collagen, albeit being of lower values. Therefore, the collagen extracted from fringescale sardinella demonstrated potential for use as an alternative collagen from marine sources
