“…It is therefore necessary to study the suitable pigment additives for blood parrot. Commonly used carotenoids in fish feed include synthetic β-carotene, astaxanthin, cantaxanthin, zeaxanthin and lutein and natural sources of yeast, bacteria, algae, higher plants and crustacean meal [3,4]. For example, synthetic astaxanthin has been used to increase the skin coloration of blood parrot [1].…”

“…Different sources of carotenoids pigments like pure carotenoids pigments, animal sources and plant sources are included in fish diet. Various synthetic pigments like β carotene, castaxanthine, zeaxanthine and astaxanthine and also natural sources such as yeast, bacteria, algae, higher plants and in animal source, crustacean meal have been used as dietary supplements to enhance the pigmentation of fish and crustaceans (Shahidi et al, 1998;Kalinowski et al, 2005) Among these natural compounds, many of the botanical additives have been used as cheapest sources of pigmentation in fish e.g. spirulina have been used as a source of carotenoid pigment for rainbow trout, fancy carp and yellow tail cichlid Pseudotropheus acei (Choubert, 1979;Boonyarapatin and Phrom kunthony, 1986).…”

“…It has often been found that carotenoids and even carotenoid equivalents can have significant effects on skin pigmentation (Kalinowski et al 2005). These results, along with the equality of feed amounts and types in the tanks of all three transAtlantic families does not infer that nutritional content is the reason for the variation of colour phenotypes seen.…”
