Effects of porcine bile extracts added at three different dietary concentrations 0, 10 and 20 g kg)1 were studied on astaxanthin serum concentration in rainbow trout (mean weight 200 ± 7 g). Astaxanthin from micro-algae Haematococcus pluvialis and synthetic astaxanthin (CAROPHYLL pink) were incorporated in diets of rainbow trout at a rate of 100 mg astaxanthin kg)1 of feed. Fish were hand fed twice a day. Aft...
Although Haematococcus pluvialis is one of the most importantnatural sources of the carotenoid astaxanthin as a pigmentor for theaquaculture industry, the thick sporopollenin cell wall in the cysts hindersastaxanthin extraction and its subsequent bio-availability to fish. A rangeof physical and chemical processes were tested to promote the disruptionof the encysted cells. The efficacy of these processes was eva...
