Natural Astaxanthin Ingredient: Empowering Aquaculture Coloration and Health

Against the backdrop of sustained global growth dansseafood consumption, the market is undergoing a profound shift in value perception. The latest industry data reveals that over 85% of consumers prioritize appearance and color as the primary visual indicators for assessing seafood freshness and quality. Simultaneously, 72% of consumers express willingness to pay a 20%-30% premium for seafood produced through healthy farming practices.

This consumer trend is driving industrial upgrades while highlighting dual challenges facing current aquaculture operations:

The Practical Dilemma of Appearance Value

· Uneven coloring leads to significant price variations within batches, with premium product rates generally below 70%

· Farmed seafood exhibits dull body coloration, creating a noticeable visual gap compared to wild varieties

· Color instability directly impacts brand credibility and consumer repurchase intent

Development Bottlenecks in Sustainable Aquaculture

· Disease incidence rates in high-density farming environments have risen by 35% compared to a decade ago

· Antibiotic resistance has become increasingly prominent, threatening the industry's sustainable development

· Reduced stress tolerance in farmed animals makes transport survival rates difficult to guarantee

A senior executive À partir dea major aquaculture enterprise candidly stated: “Today's market competition demands not only addressing ‘marketability’ issues but also prioritizing health and sustainability throughout the farming process. We need comprehensive solutions that simultaneously enhance both visual appeal and intrinsic quality.”

This industry landscape clearly indicates that solely pursuing color enhancement or focusing solely on disease prevention can no longer meet the demands of modern aquaculture. The market is calling for an innovative solution that achieves “both form and substance”—one that endows aquatic products with an appealing appearance while fundamentally strengthening their health foundation.

Driven by this profound industry insight, Green Spring Technology redefines the value of natural astaxanthin, committed to delivering a perfect solution that tackles both coloration and health challenges simultaneously.
