Aquatic animal carotenoids

Open access
Matsuno, Takao·2001·Fisheries Science

Abstract

Carotenoids are yellow to red isoprenoid polyene pigments; approximately 650 carotenoids are known from bacteria, fungi, plants and animals. They occur not only as free forms but also as esters, glycosides, sulfates and carotenoproteins. A recent discovery of antitumor activity in carotenoids, such as vitamin A and β-carotene, has brought attention to marine carotenoids. This review describes the structures of 117 carotenoids isolated from sponges, coelenterates, mollusks, crustaceans, echinoderms, tunicates and fishes. The comparative biochemistry and metabolic pathways of these carotenoids are also discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
