Background and Objectives : The carotenoid was extracted from blue swimming crab shells, waste from the fisheries industry for utilization and value added. The efficiency of carb shells extracted carotenoid on color inducing of Lambchop rasbora (Trigonostigma espei Meinken, 1967) was studied to avoid chemical use, increase the income of a farmer, and value add of Lambchop rasbora before sending to the ornamental fish market.
Methodology : The carotenoid was extracted from blue swimming crab shells by ethanol. The carotenoid concentrations of 0 (control group), 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg astaxanthin per 1 kg of feed were infused into ornamental fish feed. The commercial astaxanthin mixed feed was used for comparison. The 15 adult Lambchop rasbora with 2.50±0.19 cm of total length were stocked in a square aquarium with 10 liters of water with triplication in each group. After four weeks of rearing, redness values (+a*), yellowness values (+b*), lightness value (L*), growth and survival rate were estimated.
Main Results : The fish fed with feed containing crab shells extracted carotenoid 25, 50, and 75 mg astaxanthin per 1 kg presented redness values, 4.39±0.09, 4.64±0.21 and 4.53±0.18, respectively, and no significant difference with the commercial feed group, 4.19±0.17 but different (p<0.05) from the control group, 2.37±0.21. While, the redness value of the 100 mg astaxanthin per 1 kg group was 5.27±0.24, and significantly higher than others (p<0.05). The yellowness values of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mg astaxanthin per 1 kg, and commercial feed groups were no significant differences (p>0.05). However, theirs were significantly different from the control groups. The blue swimming crab shells extracted carotenoid did not affect the lightness value, growth, and survival rate of fish (p>0.05).
Conclusions : This study can conclude that blue swimming crab shells extracted carotenoid can induce redness, yellowness and the color intensity of skin of Lambchop rasbora. It has the potential to utilize and value added crab shell waste from the fisheries industry.
