CAROTENOIDS FROM PLANTS USED IN DIETS FOR THE CULTURE OF THE PACIFIC WHITE SHRIMP (Litopenaeus vannamei)

The use of carotenoids as pigments in aquaculture diets is well documented. These pigments seem to have manyphysiological functions that include a role as antioxidant and provitamin “A”. A common characteristic of shrimpsis their pink flesh when cooked. Dietary carotenoids, among them astaxanthin, a...
