Astaxanthin is also crucial to the development of shrimp eggs and larvae, astaxanthin in feed, can improve the survival rate of juveniles and the red sea carp egg buoyancy and survival, and strengthen the structure of the liver cells of red tilapia and glycogen glutathione storage, and salmon breeding period can increase the fertilization rate, egg survival and growth rate.

The global aquaculture industry increases in the proportion of 24% per year. It is currently $ 35 billion annually and will reach $ 49 billion in 2010. Natural astaxanthin market is mainly affected by the global production capacity constraints, the international market price is above $ 3,000 per kilogram, is currently only feed a salmon market capacity over 185 million dollars, and to increase the rate of 8% per annum.
