Abstract
1. Based on the contents and individual composition of carotenoids in the muscle, serum and ovaries of chum salmon during spawning migration, the reductive metabolism of astaxanthin to zeaxanthin was presumed to take place in the muscle of both male and female. 2. The metabolic rates of zeaxanthin and 4-keto-zeaxanthin in female serum were much faster than those in male serum.Entities:
