Properly formulated feeds and pigmentation are a significant part of successful aquaculture. Carotenoids play a major role in culture of some species i.e. salmon and rainbow trout, gold fish, red and gilthead sea bream. Various biological and nutritional roles for carotenoids in some species are documented along with the effect of biotic and abiotic factors on astaxanthin and final flesh or skin pigmentation. In this review role of carotenoids related technical knowledge in aquaculture besides practical knowledge to farmers.
