This invention relates to a new pigment in feed for salmonids, a new feed comprising this pigment and use of this pigment. The pigment comprises a diester of predominantly (3R,3'R)-astaxanthin, cantaxanthin or other carotenoids that can be used for pigmentation of salmonids prepared with an omega-3 fatty acid and/or a shortchain corboxylic acid. By this invention a pigment for feed to salmonids that is more or as stable as, and biologically more effective than free astaxanthin and previously known diesters of astaxanthin and commercially available astaxanthin and cantaxanthin products, is provided. The said diesters are also useful for enhancing the growth of farmed fish, as a growth-enhancing agent in feed for farmed fish, as an appetizer in feed for fish as well as for increasing the utilization of the feed for farmed fish, and foroptimising health and well-being of farmed fish.

L'invention concerne un nouveau pigment d'aliments pour salmonidés, un nouvel aliment contenant ce pigment et l'utilisation dudit pigment. Ce pigment contient principalement un diester de (3R,3'R)-astaxanthine, cantxanthine ou autres caroténoïdes pouvant être utilisés dans la pigmentation des salmonidés. Le pigment selon l'invention peut être préparé au moyen d'un acide gras oméga-3 et/ou d'un acide carboxylique à chaîne courte. L'invention permet d'obtenir un pigment d'aliments pour salmonidés qui est plus stable ou aussi stable et biologiquement plus efficace que l'astaxanthine libre et que les diesters connus d'astaxanthine, que l'astaxanthine disponible sur le marché et que les produits de cantaxanthine. Lesdits diesters sont également utiles dans l'amélioration de la croissance des poissons d'élevage, et ils peuvent être utilisés sous forme d'agent d'amélioration de croissance et sous forme d'agent développant l'appétit utilisés dans les aliments pour poissons d'élevage. Le pigment selon l'invention permet d'améliorer l'utilisation des aliments pour poissons d'élevage et d'optimiser la santé et le bien-être des poissons.
