“…It may be distributed widely in fishes, occurring commonly as the 3,3' -dihydroxy derivative. It could be the source of reports of "lutein" or "taraxanthin-like" pigments in fishes (Crozier & Wilkie, 1966). The absolute and relative concentration of these pigments may provide only a superficial explanation of the mechanisms involved in the production of color polymorphisms.…”

Abstract-i. Cichlasoma citrinellum occurs as gray or gold morphs in lakes in Nicaragua. The gold morph is variable and individuals range from yellow to dark orange.2. The pigments responsible for the carotenoid coloration are E-carotene and canthaxanthin. The gray morph contains a carotenoid component and also heavy melanin deposits.3. The carotenoids are dietary in origin, but their distribution and intensity is presumably under genetic control.4. The relation of color morphs to the ecological and selective forces which might produce them is discussed.

“…In fishes 1::-carotene was first described in the representatives of a marine fistr-Apodichthys flavidus (c.f. Crozier and Wilkie 1966). In sahnonid fishes we observed its presence in the :fins of Coregonus albula (c.f Czeczuga 1977), in the fins and skin of wild individuals of On corhynchus mykiss and in the eggs of wild individuals of Salmo trutta morphafario (Cze czuga 1979b).…”
