“…This result showed that FA and OZ could intensify the red and yellow coloration of the integument of red sea bream. It was reported that the red color in the integument of marine fish is due to astaxanthin and the yellow color is due to lutein and tunaxanthin 13) , and that astaxanthin was converted to tunaxanthin via lutein in marine fish [10][11]13) . The total carotenoid contents in the integuments in FA-and OZ-administrated groups were slightly higher than those of the control group, as shown in .…”

The effects of ferulic acid (FA) and g-oryzanol (OZ) supplementation on cultured red sea bream were examined. Commercial brown fish meal diets supplemented with FA (0.01-0.5%) or OZ (0.05-0.5%) were given to zero-year, cultured red sea bream for 98 days. After the experiment, the brightness of the integument color ("L" value) of FA-and OZ-administrated fish was higher than that of control fish. Furthermore, 2-Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in the liver of FA-and OZadministrated fish was lower than in control fish. These results indicate that FA and OZ suppressed not only dark-color pigmentation but also oxidative stress in cultured red sea bream.

“…The order of approximate astaxanthin content of the other fish feeds was Granulated feed (Tokyo) > Dried Tubifex > Dried Daphnia. Fish metabolizes carotenoids before depositing them onto natural receptors in the skin (Miki et al, 1985;Matsuno et al, 1985;Katsuyama et al, 1987;Katsuyama and Matsuno, 1988). The great amount of astaxanthin in the caudal fin and muscle of the fantail guppy that fed living tubifex is significantly related to the amount of astaxanthin present in that feed.…”

The commercial value of ornamental fish is primarily dependent on their external body colouration. Fade coloured fish fails to attract the interest of the buyers. In the present study an experiment were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of four types of feed (Living tubifex, Dried tubifex, Dried Daphnia and Prepared granulated feed) in the rearing of fantail guppy. Carotenoid content of the feed used, caudal fin and muscle of the fish and specific growth rate (SGR) of the fish were also analyzed. Results showed that the fantail guppy utilized the live organisms more efficiently than the artificial diet. Results are also encouraging because the fantail guppy became more brightly colourful which fed the carotenoid rich feed in comparison to the types of feed. Living tubifex was proved to be the best feed for guppy for increasing the growth and colouration.

“…Biochemical analyses can greatly inform the understanding of the ecological and physiological variables that mediate colour expression (Hudon et al , 2003). Typical red pigments found in fishes include astaxanthin and tunaxanthin, both diet‐limited carotenoids (Czeczuga, 1973; Maoka & Matsuno, 1985; Matsuno et al , 1985; Hudon et al , 2003). Guppies Poecilia reticulata Peters 1859 have also been found to express drosopterin, which they synthesize de novo (Hudon et al , 2003).…”

Pigment evolution was reconstructed in the subfamily Amphistichinae, a six-species clade of the surfperches, family Embiotocidae. Assignment was confirmed for all species within the subfamily, but low levels of differentiation were found among species within the subfamily, suggesting a recent radiation. The new phylogeny differs from previous hypotheses by the placement of the spotfin surfperch Hyperprosopon anale at the base of the subfamily, while still preserving the calico surfperch Amphistichus koelzi and the redtailed surfperch Amphistichus rhodoterus as sister species. Phenotypically, A. rhodoterus, A. koelzi and the silver surfperch Hyperprosopon ellipticum express high levels of red pigmentation. The barred surfperch, Amphistichus argenteus and the walleye surfperch Hyperprosopon argenteum express little to no red pigment, while basal H. anale expresses an intermediate amount of red pigment. Red pigmentation is proposed to have experienced parallel divergent evolution in each genus within the subfamily.
