Carotenoid pigments of Penaeus schmitti were investigated and identified in the ovaries and hepatopancreas. Their individual variations were measured in these two organs. The relative concentrations of zeaxanthin in hepatopancreas and astaxanthin in ovaries increased during the sexual development. The role of zeaxanthin monoester in carotenoids transfer from hepatopancreas to ovaries during this sexual development is discussed.
