CHAPTER - 1 GENERAL INTRODUCTIONAquaculture, a fast grow<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g food supply<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>dustry, produced about 64 milli<strong>on</strong> MT offish <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> 2011, account<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g for nearly 50% of c<strong>on</strong>sumed fish food globally (FAO, 2012). Producti<strong>on</strong>is expected to <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>crease up to 60% by 2020. These producti<strong>on</strong> levels are currently achieved by theculture of more than 300 different species, with various carp species dom<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>at<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g globalaquaculture producti<strong>on</strong>. In 2010, salm<strong>on</strong>id fish, Atlantic salm<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> ra<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>bow trout (Salmo salar<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Oncorhynchus mykiss, respectively) producti<strong>on</strong> share represented a 3.5% of the worldaquaculture producti<strong>on</strong> of fish, crustaceans <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> molluscs valued at US$1.4 billi<strong>on</strong> (FAO, 2012).Flesh quality <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> f<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al products from salm<strong>on</strong>id fish is determ<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ed by a comb<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ati<strong>on</strong> ofseveral factors <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>clud<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g colour. This quality trait is positively correlated to product price asc<strong>on</strong>sumers associate colour with freshness, higher quality <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> better flavour (Alfnes et al., 2006).In the wild, salm<strong>on</strong>id fish obta<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> carotenoid from prey they c<strong>on</strong>sume. In salm<strong>on</strong>id fish culture,premixes c<strong>on</strong>ta<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g><str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g synthetic <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> naturally occurr<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g pigments, ma<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>ly astaxanth<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>, must be<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>cluded <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> the feed as salm<strong>on</strong>ids are not able to synthetize carotenoids de novo. <str<strong>on</strong>g>Pigment</str<strong>on</strong>g>premixes are very expensive <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> carotenoid supplementati<strong>on</strong> represents up to 15% of f<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>al feedcosts (Bjerkeng, 2000; Choubert et al., 2009).Formulati<strong>on</strong> of diets for salm<strong>on</strong>id fish has evolved <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> order to <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>crease <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>clusi<strong>on</strong> levels ofcost-effective prote<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>gredients due to the better underst<str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>g of nutriti<strong>on</strong>al requirements.Large amounts of research have been c<strong>on</strong>ducted <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> order to assess the effects of different<str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g>gredients <strong>on</strong> growth performance, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> nutrient utilizati<strong>on</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>in</str<strong>on</strong>g> the last five decades.
