  A feeding experiment was carried out to determine the effects of dietary carotenoid source on body color, skin and scale pigmentation, antioxidant responses of blood porrot (Cichlasoma synspilum ♀ × Cichlasoma citrinellum ♂). Seven experimental diets were formulated as following: the control diet without carotenoids; PO diet with 4.0 g/kg paprika oleoresin, HP diet with 2.0 g/kg Haematococcus pluvialis, PR diet with 2.0 g/kg Phaffia rhodozyma, AS diet with 0.4 g/kg synthetic astaxanthin, CA diet with 1.0 g/kg β-carotene and POL diet with 2.0 g/kg paprika oleoresin + 3.0 g/kg lutein. Each experimental diet was fed to triplicate groups of fish to visual satiation twice per day for 8 weeks. The results showed that AS diet turn fish body red higher and sooner, followed by PR diet and HP diet, successively (P < 0.05). PO and C.. View More»
