How Do Salmon Get Their Color?
The orange coloration of wild-caught salmon is primarily due to their diet. Wild salmon feed on a variety of marine organisms, including krill, shrimp, and other small crustaceans. These prey contain natural pigments called carotenoids, particularly astaxanthin, which give them their reddish-orange color.
When wild salmon consume these carotenoid-rich organisms, the pigments are absorbed into their flesh, resulting in the vibrant orange hue characteristic of wild-caught salmon. Astaxanthin, in particular, is known for its potent antioxidant properties and is abundant in the diets of many marine creatures.
