Dehydroretinal (3,4-dehydroretinal) is a derivative metabolite of retinal[1] belonging to the group of vitamin A2 as a retinaldehyde form, besides the endogenously present 3,4-dehydroretinol and 3,4-dehydroretinoic acid.[2][3]

The livers of some freshwater fishes and some fish found in India contain a higher ratio of dehydroretinal to retinal than do other species.[4][5]
