Zusammenfassung

Die blauen ozeanischen Cirripedien,Lepas fascicularis, speichern Karotinoide in Eiern, Eingeweiden und den meisten übrigen Geweben in den folgenden ungefähren Konzentrationen: 5:2:1 mg/100 g. In jeder Art von Gewebe ist Astaxanthin das Hauptkarotinoid, welches meist in Form des blauen Chromproteins vorliegt. Kleinere Mengen von Karotin und etwas mehr Xanthophylle kommen in den Eingeweiden, nicht aber in den reifen Eiern vor.
