Parvalbumin may be another reason for the added benefits from eating whole seafood rather than fish oil
It is produced endogenously, and plays a role in photoreceptor activity, neurogenesis, muscle contraction, memory formation, stress response, and neuroprotection

It does seem to be at least somewhat orally absorbed since it is one of the mediators of fish allergy (but not shellfish)
As long as you're not allergic to seafood however it may still be absorbed but instead may be redistributed into various tissues

Most parvalbumin is likely broken down into amino acids during digestion, similar to what occurs when you take a collagen supplement, but the benefit may be more in providing higher amounts of the same amino acids used specifically for parvalbumin synthesis
Of course you can also focus on ways to increase parvalbumin production in the body, including:
- balancing circadian rhythm
- exercise
- heat/cold exposure (via PGC1a)
- coleus forskholii (via increased cAMP)
- anything that increases BDNF (including seafood!)

This one is a rodent study, but also showed a reduction in parvalbumin-containing GABAergic neurons in young rodents fed high amounts of sucrose daily
