Not exactly. The body will convert Beta Carotene into Vitamin A when it is needed. That's why Beta Carotene is the preferred and safer version of Vitamin A... you can overdose on pure Vitamin A easier than you can on Beta Carotene

There are many animals types that contain beta-carotene. Shrimp do have beta carotene, along with many types of algae.
Natural Beta-carotene is used in health care in two ways: As Pro -Vitamin A, which is due to its ability to be converted to Vitamin A as and when the body requires, and as an antioxidant, which protects against cell and tissue damage by scavenging free radicals. This dual function of Natural Beta-carotene is due to the presence of Cis and Trans Beta-carotene isomers. Synthetic Beta-Carotene has only All-trans Beta-carotene. This inherent disadvantage of synthetic Beta-carotene has led many users to use Dunaliella, which is the best source of Natural Beta-Carotene with a high Cis-Trans Beta-carotene ratio (25:75).
Studies have shown that beta-carotene has no effect on cancer
