Abstract The guts of most fishes contain 1-5 percentage collagen.Amino acid Composition of these purified collagens revealed the presence of almost all amino acids except cystine. The major componet aminoacids were glutamic acid followed by proline and glycine. The physical properties such as tenacity, keeping quality etc. of pure and modified collagen fibres are also reported. In the light of these data, the use of gut collagen as asurgical suture is discussed.
