The main carotenoid in both red sea bream and prawn was astaxanthin and its amounts were conspicuously different between wild and cultured animals. In order to improve the red color of red sea bream, a feeding experiment of spheroidenone producing bacteria and sea mussel was performed. The color of red sea bream was not improved by feeding spheroidenone, but red sea bream fed on sea mussel demonstrated fairly improved coloration and the carotenoids in sea mussel were deposited in the integuments of red sea bream.}, pages = {1--7}, title = {Carotenoids in Wild and Cultured, Red Sea Bream, Pagrus major TEMMINCK & SCHLEGEL and Prawn, Penaeus japonicus BATE.}, volume = {28}, year = {} }
