A diet and method for improving the pigmentation of fish fillets and particularly fillets of salmonoides is disclosed. The diet involves the feeding of fish with fodder formed of protein, and lysine in an additional amount, approximating 8 to 9% of the amount of protein provided. In addition, the fodder may contain a carotenoid. The fish fodder is fed to the fish for a relatively short duration, approximating 4 to 8 weeks where feeding terminates prior to a starvation period which precedes harvesting of the fish. |
