The false clownfish ( Amphiprion ocellaris ) is a prominent species in the marine ornamental trade, valued for its vibrant orange-red coloration. However, aquaculture-bred individuals often exhibit less intense coloration than their wild counterparts, presenting challenge both breeders and aquarists. This study evaluates effects of carotenoid-enriched diets, sourced from natural ingredients such as pumpkin, bell pepper, carrot, gac, well synthetic source like astaxanthin, on growth clownfish. In controlled experiment, juvenile fish with an initial average length 3.21 ± 0.03 cm weight 0.61 0.02 g were allocated to 60-liter tanks fed experimental diets over 75-day trial period. Carotenoid supplementation was standardized at 250 mg/kg across control group receiving no added carotenoids. design completely randomized, involving three replicates per dietary treatment. results indicated that supplemented gac pepper significantly enhanced feed efficiency (p < 0.05). Notably, skin redness intensity (a * value) increased by 75.73% gac-supplemented group, 89.20% 91.99% astaxanthin relative Additionally, carotenoid deposition integument higher all groups, increase 83.74% 89.59% 98.43% compared These findings suggest carotenoids, particularly can be effective alternatives potentially improving attractiveness commercial value captive-bred alleviating exploitation populations.

Fish, constantly exposed to environmental stressors due their aquatic habitat and high metabolic rates, are susceptible oxidative stress. This review examines the interplay between stress fish reproduction, emphasizing potent antioxidant properties of astaxanthin. Our primary objective is highlight astaxanthin's role in mitigating during critical reproductive stages, leading improved gamete quality, ovary development, hormone levels. We also explore its practical applications aquaculture, including enhanced pigmentation overall health. conducted a comprehensive literature review, analyzing studies on impact reproduction. Astaxanthin, carotenoid pigment, effectively combats reactive oxygen species, inhibiting lipid peroxidation maintaining membrane integrity. It significantly enhances success improves health aquaculture settings. reveals multifaceted benefits offering economic advantages aquaculture. Future research should delve into species-specific responses, optimal dosages, long-term effects astaxanthin supplementation inform sustainable strategies.

Astaxanthin is an efficient nutrition strategy to relieve oxidative stress and enhance crustacean body color. Because of technological economic benefits, synthetic astaxanthin favored by the aquatic feed industry. However, whether can achieve effects natural needs further investigation. Here, we evaluated (dietary supplementation with Haematococcus pluvialis Phaffia rhodozyma) on growth performance, color, fatty acid composition antioxidant capacity black tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon). Compared control group (no supplementation), only significantly increased weight gain rate (WG) specific (SGR), together elevation efficiency ratio (FER). All three types enhanced color increasing deposition. The highest value (a*) in carapace muscle occurred group. Synthetic n-3 polyunsaturated (n-3 PUFA) contents muscle. As expected, different sources inhibited glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) pyruvic (GPT) activities hemolymph decreased reduced glutathione (GSH) malondialdehyde (MDA) hepatopancreas. Correspondingly, structure hepatopancreas was astaxanthin. In addition, almost indistinguishably ability shrimps resist caused transportation simulation. conclusion, these results indicate that dietary has a better effect than promotion, enhancement PUFA deposition prawn. Hence, suitable additive promote healthy sustainable development shrimp
