Raja, I'm not so sure about your inquiry, but I know a little bit about
salmon.
Salmon can be fed with rations containing carotenoids, particularly
asthaxanthin (not sure about the spelling too). The fish color becomes a
lot more attractive and it seems like consumers prefer that on their
sashimis. This color, though, needs to be stated on the label.
I think this is pretty unique for salmon, since tuna, tilapia, and other
fish utilize carbon monoxide and/or cold smoke treatment to
enhance/preserve their color.
On the latest tratments, there was a lot of e-mails exchanged couple days
ago here in this list.
