The Use of Apo-ester and Marigold (Tagetes erecta) as Carotenoid Source in Pigmentation of Electric Yellow Cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus)

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effects on skin pigmentation and rearing parameters of electric yellow cichlid (Labidochromis caeruleus) fed diets containing 4% marigold (Tagetes erecta), 0 and 100 mg/kg synthetic apo-ester for 60 days. Skin colour was measured by colorimetric method using reflectance spectroscopy. Effects of marigold and synthetic apo-ester on colour parameters (L*,a*,b*,Ch, H°ab) of fish were similar (P>0.05). Both carotenoid sources provided higher a yellowness (+b*) value in fish (P<0.05) but did not affect lightness (+L*) and redness (+a*) value, compared to diets without carotenoids (P>0.05). On the other hand, carotenoid sources had no effect on growth performance, feed utilization and survival rate of fish (P<0.05). This study demonstrated that marigold can be successfully used as an alternative natural carotenoid source to the synthetic apo-ester in electric yellow cichlid diets.

Sentetik Apo-ester ve Kadife Çiçeğinin (Tagetes erecta) Sarı Prenses Balığının (Labidochromis caeruleus) Pigmentasyonunda Karotenoyit Kaynağı Olarak Kullanılması

Öz

Bu çalışma, %4 kadife çiçeği (Tagetes erecta), 0 ve 100 mg/kg sentetik apo-ester içeren diyetlerle 60 gün beslenen sarı prenses balığının (Labidochromis caeruleus) deri rengi ve yetiştiricilik parametreleri üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Deri rengi, kolorimetrik yöntemle bir yansıtma spektroskopisi kullanılarak ölçülmüştür. Kadife çiçeği ve sentetik apo-esterin balıkların renk parametreleri (L*,a*,b*,Ch, H°ab) üzerindeki etkilerinin benzer olduğu belirlenmiştir (p>0,05). Her iki karotenoyit kaynağı, karotenoyit içermeyen diyete kıyasla balıklarda daha yüksek bir sarılık (+b*) değeri sağlamış (p<0,05), ancak açıklık (+L*) ve kırmızılık (+a*) değerlerini etkilememiştir (p>0,05). Diğer yandan, karotenoyit kaynaklarının balıkların büyüme performansı, yem değerlendirme ve hayatta kalma oranı üzerinde bir etkisi olmamıştır (p>0,05). Bu çalışma, kadife çiçeğinin sarı prenses balığı diyetlerinde sentetik apo estere alternatif bir doğal karotenoyit kaynağı olarak başarılı bir şekilde kullanılabileceğini göstermiştir.
