Additionally, it has been shown that the absorption of individual amino acids from enzymatic protein hydrolysates was faster than that from an equivalent free amino acid mixture (Silk et al., 1979). This is likely due to the lower osmolarity of peptides compared to free amino acids, which also has the added benefit of aiding the absorption of other dietary components. A number of experimental studies in recent years have demonstrated that fish protein hydrolysate contain unique bioactive peptides with a wide variety of biological activities, including immunomodulatory, anti-microbial, anti-thrombotic, anti-hypertensive, and anti-proliferative effects (Picot et al.2010; Chalamaiah et al., 2012). Therefore, further investigation into the utility of fish protein hydrolysate as a form of nutritional supplementation, particularly among children, is warranted
