“…β-carotene consumed by female spawners remains in the liver, where it is transformed into vitamin A1 and subsequently vitamin A2 in C. auratus, which is then transported later on to the eggs during yolk formation (Del Tito, 1983). Previous studies that examined the effects of carotenoid supplementation in rainbow trout, gilthead seabream and yellow tail cichlid broodstock (Lakeh et al, 2010;Scabini et al, 2011;Güroy et al, 2012) and carp (Tizkar et al, 2013) diets have been undertaken. Our results show that dietary supplementation of carotenoids (astaxanthin and β-carotene) in female goldfish increased the GSI but did not affect the HSI.…”

“…Astaxanthin supplementation of the broodstock diet of fish improves reproduction performance, floatation and hatching of eggs, and larvae health (Sawanboonchun et al, 2008). It has been shown that astaxanthin and β-carotene improves the reproductive performance and egg quality of female goldfish (Tizkar et al, 2013). Additionally, researchers suggest that carotenoids have respiratory functions in fish eggs (Craik, 1985).…”

This study investigated the effects of two source carotenoids on the hepatosomatic index (HSI) and the gonadosomatic index (GSI) of the goldfish (Carassius auratus). For this experiment, six diets containing concentrations of 50, 100, and 150 mg carotenoid kg-1 of synthetic astaxanthin and β-carotene were added to a basic carp diet, while one group of fish was fed a control diet (no added carotenoids). Fiberglass tanks were used for the study, which was performed from January to April of 2013. During the breeding period, the hepatosomatic (HSI) and gonadosomatic (GSI) indices were examined monthly, along with the total carotenoid levels in the ovaries and livers of female goldfish broodstock. A significant positive correlation was observed between total carotenoids in both the liver and ovary tissues and GSI after 90 and 120 days of the experiment. The HSI was not affected by the carotenoid-enriched diets. However, the carotenoid-enriched diets resulted in greater accumulation of carotenoids in the gonads. β-carotene-enriched diets (B150) led to greater accumulation of carotenoids in the liver after 90 days. Lastly, we found that diets containing higher levels of astaxanthin and β-carotene improve the GSI in goldfish broodstock. Efecto de la astaxantina y β-caroteno en la dieta, sobre los índices gonadosomático y hepatosomático, composición de la gónada e hígado en reproductores de carpa dorada Carassius auratus (Linnaeus, 1758) RESUMEN. Este estudio investiga el efecto de dos fuentes de carotenoides sobre el índice hepatosomático (HSI) y el índice gonadosomático (GSI) de la carpa dorada (Carassius auratus). En este experimento, se adicionaron seis dietas conteniendo concentraciones de 50, 100 y 150 mg carotenoide kg-1 de astaxantina sintética y β-caroteno a una dieta de carpa, mientras a otro grupo de peces se le suministró una dieta control (sin carotenoides). Se utilizaron estanques de fibra de vidrio de enero a abril 2013. Durante el periodo experimental, el HSI y el GSI se examinaron mensualmente junto con la concentración de carotenoides totales en ovario e hígado de hembras. Una correlación positiva significativa se encontró entre el total de carotenoides aportados en la dieta y el hígado, ovario y el GSI después de 90 y 120 días de experimento. El HSI no fue afectado por las dietas enriquecidas con carotenoides. Sin embargo, las dietas con carotenoides mostraron un mayor acumulación de carotenoides en las gónadas. La dieta con β-carotenos (B150) presentó una mayor acumulación de carotenoides ____________________ Corresponding editor: Enrique Dupré 364 Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research en el hígado después de 90 días. Finalmente, se encontró que las dietas que contenían el nivel más alto de astaxantina y β-caroteno mejoraron el GSI en los reproductores de carpa dorada.

Aims To examine the antioxidant activity of Bacterioruberin (Bctr)‐rich extracts isolated from a hyperpigmented, genetically modified Haloferax volcanii strain (HVLON3) and to investigate the effect on cold‐sensitive ram sperm cells. Methods and Results The strain HVLON3 produces higher Bctr amounts than most haloarchaea (220 ± 13 mg g−1 DW). HVLON3‐Bctr extract has higher antioxidant activity than β‐carotene (threefold) as evaluated using 2,2 diphenyl‐1‐picrylhydrazyl combined with Electron Paramagnetic Resonance analysis (EC50 4·5 × 10−5 mol l−1 vs 13·9 × 10−5 mol l−1 respectively). Different concentrations of HVLON3‐Bctr extracts were assayed on ram sperm after freezing/thawing and physiologically relevant parameters were examined. Extracts containing 7 and 20 μmol l−1 Bctr significantly improved cell viability (P < 0·0001), total and progressive motility (P < 0·0001) and sperm velocities (P = 0·0172 for curvilinear velocity VCL, P = 0·0268 for average path velocity VAP and P = 0·0181 for straight line velocity VSL) and did not affect other parameters evaluated. Conclusions HVLON3 is an excellent source of natural microbial C50 carotenoids with applicability in Biotechnology, Biomedical and Veterinary fields. HVLON3 Bctr extract improves the quality of cryopreserved ram sperm cells and could be applied to increase insemination yields. Significance and Impact of the Study This study provides an insight on the bioactive properties of a bioproduct derived from haloarchaea (carotenoids) which are so far underexploited.

“…External environmental factors, such as osmotic pressure, ionic and gaseous components influence fish spermatozoa motility and activation (Dzyuba and Cosson, 2014). Recent studies showed that dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, astaxanthin could improve sperm motility and fertilization rate (Koprucu et al, 2015;Tizkar et al, 2015). However, few reports existed that explain the molecular mechanism corresponding to the improvement of sperm motility.…”
