The pathways for β-carotene conversion to astaxanthin as proposed by Rhodes [54]. Orange arrows indicate the pathway proposed for most crustaceans. A light blue arrow with a dotted line is a hypothesized pathway for lutein conversion to astaxanthin; yellow arrows indicate an alternative conversion pathway proposed for crustaceans that may not rely on echinenone and canthaxanthin as intermediates.
