The Effect Of Fish Size On Pigmentation In Goldfish ( Carassius Auratus), Mahmut Yanar, Nazmi Tekeli̇oğlu
The Effect Of Fish Size On Pigmentation In Goldfish ( Carassius Auratus), Mahmut Yanar, Nazmi Tekeli̇oğlu
Turkish Journal of Biology
The effect of fish size on pigmentation of gold fish ( Carassius auratus) was ivestigated. The total carotenoid deposition in the skin of four different size groups of fish fed a diet containing zeaxanthin (75 mg/kg) for 60 days was determined spectrophotometrically. The results were as follows: 19.23±0.46 mg/kg for the 1.52 g weight group, 29.06±0.64 mg/kg for the 4.19 g weight group, 31.10±0.53 mg/kg for the 7.35 g weight group and 35.28±0.65 mg/kg for the 13.11 g weight group. According to these results, it was concluded that pigmentation increased with fish weight.
The Effect Of Natural And Synthetic Carotenoids On Pigmentation Of Gold Fish (Carassius Auratus), Mahmut Yanar, Nazmi̇ Tekeli̇oğlu
The Effect Of Natural And Synthetic Carotenoids On Pigmentation Of Gold Fish (Carassius Auratus), Mahmut Yanar, Nazmi̇ Tekeli̇oğlu
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
In this study, the effect natural end synthetic carotenoids on pigmentation of gold fish (Carassius auratus) was investigated. The fish were fed on diets containing 75 mg/kg zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, zeaxanthin+astaxanthin, 6% alfalfa, red pepper, carrot or plankton (Daphnia spp. and Scenedesmus spp.). At the end of the 60 days of experimental period, total carotenoid accumulation in the skin of the fish fed the experimental diets were 33.52±0.62 mg/kg for zeaxanthin, 29.84±0.50 mg/kg for red pepper, 27.07±0.62 mg/kg for Daphnia spp., 26.52±0.42 mg/kg for Scenedesmus spp., 25.84±0.62 mg/kg for astaxanthin+zeaxanthin, 23.95±0.68 mg/kg for astaxanthin, 19.95±0.66 mg/kg for carrot, 16.58±0.64 mg/kg for …
The Effect Of Zeaxanthin And Tank Color On Pigmentation Andgrowth Of Goldish ( Carassius Auratus), Mahmut Yanar, Nazmi̇ Tekeli̇oğlu
The Effect Of Zeaxanthin And Tank Color On Pigmentation Andgrowth Of Goldish ( Carassius Auratus), Mahmut Yanar, Nazmi̇ Tekeli̇oğlu
Turkish Journal of Biology
In this study, the effect of zeaxanthin and tank color on pigmentation and growth of godfish ( Carassius auratus ) was investigated. Total carotenoid deposition in the fish skin was determined spectrophotometrically. At the end of 60 days of experimental period, total carotenoid accumulation in the skin of fish feeding the same food containing 75 mg/kg zeaxanthin and grown in green, blue, red, white and yellow tanks were 34.41±0.56, 32.90±0.42, 28.60±0.74, 28.58±0.52, and 26.96±0.70 mg/kg, respectively. Pigmentation in green and blue tanks were higher than the other tanks (p
The Effects Of Some Natural And Synthetic Pigment Materials On Egg Yolk Pigmentation Andproduction In White Corn And Wheat Based Diets, Figen Kirkpinar, Ramazan Erkek
The Effects Of Some Natural And Synthetic Pigment Materials On Egg Yolk Pigmentation Andproduction In White Corn And Wheat Based Diets, Figen Kirkpinar, Ramazan Erkek
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The study was carried out to investigate the effect of adding lutein, alfalfa meal, marigold meal, paprika meal, ?-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethyl ester, canthaxanthin and ?-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethyl ester+canthaxanthin (3:1) on egg yolk pigmentation and production in white corn and wheat diets. The maximum Roche color fan (RCF) value was found in canthaxanthin and the mixture of ?-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethyl ester and canthaxantin. The maximum ?-carotene equivalent (BCE) value was found in ?-apo-8'-carotenoic acid ethyl ester. The maximum Hunter L value was found in the control and lutein. The maximum Hunter a value was found in paprika meal. The maximum Hunter …
The Effects Of Some Natural And Synthetic Pigment Materials On Egg Yolk Pigmentation Andproduction In Yellow Corn Diets, Figen Kirkpinar, Ramazan Erkek
The Effects Of Some Natural And Synthetic Pigment Materials On Egg Yolk Pigmentation Andproduction In Yellow Corn Diets, Figen Kirkpinar, Ramazan Erkek
Turkish Journal of Veterinary & Animal Sciences
The study was carried out to investigate the effect of lutein, alfalfa meal, marigold meal, paprika meal, \beta-apo-8'-carotenoic acit ethyl ester, canthaxanthin and \beta -apo-8'-carotenoic acit ethyl ester+canthaxanthin in addition to 60% yellow corn diets on egg yolk pigmentation and production. Paprika meal showed the maximum Roche color fan value (RCF). \beta -apo-8'-carotenoic acit ethyl ester, alfalfa meal and marigold meal showed the highest \beta -carotene equivalents value (BCE). The maximum Hunter L value was found in the control group. Paprika meal showed the maximum Hunter a value. Lutein had the highest Hunter b value (P0.01).
