Hey if that protein comes from a thing that people don't want to eat that still seems like a win.

I'm guessing this is more of a proof of concept of the use of rice as a substrate for stem cells than anything.

"Marine collagen" is basically fish gelatin with some extra processing steps, and based on price and availability it appears to have growing demand in recent years as a specialty nutrition product. So there is already some interest in this protein source.
