Although the literature indicates that there is no longer any reason to doubt that the fish gut possesses the capacity to absorb intact protein macromolecules, neither the exact mode of protein absorption nor the physiological significance of this phenomenon has been established. A review of the literature relating to evidence concerning the probable mechanism(s) of absorption and the means by which this process may confer physiological advantage is presented.
