Carotenoids constitute a class of pigments derived from photosynthetic plants, algae, bacteria and some
fungi. Carotenoids act as potent antioxidants scavenging reactive oxygen species. They hold a vital role
in the antioxidant defense system of humans. Several studies have shown carotenoid can increase the
growth overall well being of aquatic animals. This review examined the effect of carotenoid in aquatic
organisms on growth, survival, immunity, pigmentation and reproductive performance. The review
recommends the use of carotenoid as feed additive for enhance the overall improvement of the aquatic
organisms.
