The solid waste that is generated during industrial fish processing causes environmental deterioration after it is discarded. However, these aquatic materials are a source of valuable compounds such as hydroxyapatite (HAp). HAp is a calcium phosphate with physicochemical and biological properties that are similar to those of native human bone. HAp has been used in biomedical material development because it is biocompatible and does not cause adverse effects. It has been combined with many other chemical compounds to improve their mechanical, structural, and bioactive properties and has noteworthy application benefits in the food supplement, drug delivery, cosmetology, odontology, and bone implant fields. In this review, recent research related to the isolation of HAp and the development of materials with health benefits due to its bioactive properties are discussed. Moreover, the HAp derived from industrial fish processing adds value to the byproduct and reduces the environmental risks caused by aquatic waste disposal in landfills.
