Pigmenting efficacy of astaxanthin fed to rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss: Effect of dietary astaxanthin and lipid sources

Abstract The aim of the present experiment was to investigate the effect of two different dietary types of oil (fish oil (FI) and olive oil (OL)) on the pigmenting efficacy of astaxanthin from the green micro-algae Haematococcus pluvialis (ALG) (total amount of carotenoid pigments 32 mg kg− 1 on a dry weight basis of which astaxanthin accounted for 98.6%) and from the synthetic astaxanthin (AST) in terms of astaxanthin serum concentration, induced muscle colour, and astaxanthin muscle retention in rainbow trout for 6 weeks. Diets with different oil sources were well accepted by fish. At the end of the experiment there were no significant differences between fish fed different diets in final mean weight, specific growth rate, or feed conversion ratio. Fish fed AST showed higher (P   0.05) for fish fed olive or fish oil. Muscle astaxanthin retention was higher (P
