The assimilation of cyanocobalamin from fish was studied. Rainbow trout were injected with 57Co-vitamin B12 and sacrificed 2-3 wk later. The radioactivity was evenly distributed in the muscle mass. In contrast to findings in birds and mammals, the liver contained on the average less radioactivity than did the kidneys, head, skin and muscle mass. The radiolabeled fish was ingested by 3 healthy subjects in 50- to 300-g portions and the absorption measured by the stool excretion method. From an average of 2.07 .mu.g of vitamin B12 (50 g of fish), 4.05 .mu.g (100 g), 9.2 .mu.g (200 g) and 13.3 .mu.g (300 g) the assimilation of cobalamin averaged 0.87, 1.55, 3.90 and 3.98 .mu.g, respectively. In 2 of the subjects, an upper limit of absorption was reached, while in one it was still climbing. A standard urinary excretion test using 100 g of fish, eaten by healthy subjects and by patients who presented with low serum vitamin B12 levels, showed very low absorption values after the fish and after the crystalline radiocyanocobalamin in patients with pernicious anemia. Subnormal assimilation of cobalamin from the fish with normal absorption of crystalline radio-B12 was noted in subjects with simple gastric achlorhydria and in patients who had undergone partial gastrectomy.
