“…There are four main pigment groups that give colour to the skin and tissues of animals and plants: melanins, purines, pteridiums and carotenoids (Jorjani, Sharifrohani, Mirhashemi Rostami, Hwai, & A., 2019;Kop & Durmaz, 2008). Carotenoids, which belong to oil-soluble pigment family, have a variety of sources such as natural (fungi, yeast and algae), animal (crustacean) and synthetic (lycopene, cantaxanthin, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin and β-carotene) (Cheng, Guo, Ye, & Wang, 2018;Dananjaya et al, 2020;Jiang et al, 2019;Sallam, Mansour, Srour, & Goda, 2017;Sanchez, Fuenmayor, Mejía, Díaz-Moreno, & Mahecha, 2020). Fish found in nature maintain their colours by feeding with a variety of copepods and plankton (Guerin, Huntley, & Olaizola, 2003;Xie et al, 2020;Yasir & Qin, 2010).…”
