Difference of carotenoid pigments in integuments of the wild and cultured flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus and yellowtail, Seriola quinqueradiata were studied. Total carotenoid contents in integuments of the wild and cultured flounder were 1.38mg% and 1.l6mg%, respectively. The main carotenoids in integuments of the wild flonder were zeaxanthin (19.22%), $eta$-carotene type triol (17.80%), tunaxanthin C (17.77％), lutein (16.44%) and tunaxanthin B (13.70%). In addition, tunaxanthin A (5.42%), $alpha$-cryptoxanthin (4.80%), astaxanthin (0.69%) and $eta$-cryptoxanthin (0.24%) were also contained in small amounts. But in the cultured flounder, lutein (38.21%) and zeaxanthin (29.69%) were contained as main carotenoids. In addition, $eta$-carotene type triol (7.80%), tunaxanthin C (7.05%), $alpha$-cryptoxanthin (4.34%), tunaxanthin B (4.21%), as-taxanthin (2.40%) and $eta$-cryptoxanthin (1.30%) were present in small amounts. Consequently, the wild flounder contained higher amounts of tunaxanthin and trios but contained lower amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin than the cultured flonder. The contents of carotenoids from integuments of wild and cultured yellow-tail were 1.08mg% and 0.09mg%. Wild and cultured yellowtail have similar carotenoid patterns, consisting of tunaxanthin C (44.11%, 43.37％), tunaxanthin B (33.56%, 29.23%) and tunaxanthin A (18.22%, 21.68%), respectively.
