Research increasingly highlights jellyfish as a sustainable alternative to other animal species, particularly for its collagen, which has versatile applications in blue biotechnology. This review explores the properties of jellyfish-derived extraction techniques, and diverse industrial based on current scientific literature. With particular focus research Mediterranean Sea, we underscore role order Rhizostomeae species with high collagen content provide an overview main sources harvesting, including active fishing, by-catch, aquaculture. In basin, blooming Rhizostoma pulmo, Cotylorhiza tuberculata, Rhopilema nomadica represent valuable opportunity harness their nutraceutical benefits, well potential development biomaterials tissue engineering regenerative medicine. Although fishing is not yet well-established region, ongoing collaborative projects fishermen’s guilds are focused promoting circular economy strategies valorize innovative resource. Additionally, aquaculture emerges promising ensuring supply, Cassiopea spp. demonstrating significant biotechnological applications.
