Carotenoid and lipid content in muscle of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, transferred to seawater as 0+ or 1+ smolts

Evaluation of feed and feeding regime on growth performance, flesh quality and fecal viscosity of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) in recirculating aquaculture systems

“…Increased diet energy might improve carotenoid uptake and deposition in salmon muscle while quantity of feed intake could also have the same effect. Restrictive feeding is believed to have the positive effect on the utilization of carotenoids (Ytrestøyl et al, 2004;. However, no significant difference was obtained in the present study (26.67-29.33), which may be due to the experimental design based on high feed consumption between two satiation groups during the feeding period.…”

Reduced n-3 long chain fatty acid levels in feed for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) do not reduce growth, robustness or product quality through an entire full scale commercial production cycle in seawater

“…Interpretation of astaxanthin data is complicated by the fact that fillet deposition is largely dependent on muscle lipid levels (Ytrestøyl et al, 2004), as well as fish size, which was also seen in the current study. To avoid random size variations in the specific fish sampled for this analysis at each sampling point influencing conclusions, a linear regression model was used, incorporating fish weight in the analysis.…”

Isolation and identification of the main carotenoid pigment from the rare orange muscle of the Yesso scallop

“…Colours appearing in the tissues of many aquatic animals are known to be due to the presence of carotenoids (Fox, 1979;Goodwin, 1984;Haard, 1992;Latscha 1990;Simpson, 1982;Ytrestøyl, Coral-Hinostroza, Hatlen, Robb & Bjerkeng, 2004). The principal carotenoids in shellfish are b-carotene, lutein A, zeaxanthin, diatoxanthin, and pectenolone.…”
