“…In addition to soybeans and seaweed, plant-based diets such as sunflower, canola, cottonseed, Moringa, and Azolla meals have shown promise in feeding tilapia and other fish [ 88 – 92 ]. Azolla , noted for its exceptional amino acid profile, exhibits the highest nutritional index in tilapia feed [ 93 ]. In the data analysis, heterogeneity was observed among the included studies, potentially due to variations in experimental design, number of fish used in each study, type of soybean, and species of seaweed used across different studies.…”

Tilapia, a significant aquaculture species globally, relies heavily on feed for its production. While numerous studies have investigated the impact of soybean and seaweed-based diets on tilapia, a comprehensive understanding remains elusive. This review aimed at evaluating and synthesizing the existing literature on these diets’ effects, focusing on growth performance, feed utilization, and gut microbiota. A systematic search of databases was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines and a total of 57 studies were included in the qualitative analysis and 24 in the meta-analysis. The results indicated that soybean-based diets, at a 59.4% inclusion level improved the Specific Growth Rate (SGR) of tilapia with an effect size of -2.14 (95% CI: -2.92, -1.37; p < 0.00001; I2 = 99%) and did not improve the feed conversion rate (FCR), as the effect size was 1.80 (95% CI: 0.72, 2.89; p = 0.001; I2 = 100%). For seaweed-based diets, at a 15,9% inclusion level did not improve SGR, with an effect size of -0.74 (95% CI: -1.70, 0.22; p = 0.13; I2 = 99%), and the FCR with an effect size of -0.70 (95% CI: -1.94, 0.54; p = 0.27; I2 = 100%). Regarding the gut microbiota, was noted a lack of studies meeting the inclusion criteria for tilapia. However, findings from studies on other farmed fishes suggested that soybean and seaweed-based diets could have diverse effects on gut microbiota composition and promote the growth of beneficial microbiota. This study suggests that incorporating soybean-based diets at 59.4% inclusion can improve the SGR of tilapia. Seaweed-based diets, while not demonstrating improvement in the analyzed parameters with an inclusion level of 15.9%, have the potential to contribute to the sustainability of the aquaculture industry when incorporated at lower levels.

Tilapia are important aquaculture species worldwide, and their production is heavily reliant on feed, therefore individual studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of soybean and seaweed-based diets on tilapia, but a comprehensive understanding of their impact on growth performance, feed utilization, and gut microbiota is lacking. This review aimed at evaluating and synthesizing the existing literature on the effects of soybean and seaweed-based diets on growth performance, feed utilization, and gut microbiota. A systematic search of databases was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 24 studies were included in the meta-analysis, and the results showed that soybean-based diets improved specific growth rate (SGR) with an effect size of -2.14 (95% CI: -2.92, -1.37; p < 0.00001; I2 = 99%). However, soybean-based diets did not improve the feed conversion rate (FCR), as the effect size was 1.80 (95% CI: 0.72, 2.89; p = 0.001; I2 = 100%). In addition, the seaweed-based diets did not improve the SGR, as the effect size was -0.74 (95% CI: -1.70, 0.22; p = 0.13; I2 = 99%). The same results were verified for the FCR, where the effect size was -0.70 (95% CI: -1.94, 0.54; p = 0.27; I2 = 100%). In this review, no study on the effect of soybean and seaweed-based diets on the gut microbiota of tilapia met the inclusion criteria, but studies carried out on other farmed fishes showed that soybean and seaweed-based diets improved the growth of beneficial gut microbiota. The findings of this study suggest that soybean and seaweed-based diets can contribute to the sustainability of the aquaculture industry by reducing reliance on fishmeal and fish oil.

“…Regular consumption of tilapia can help prevent stunting in toddlers. Tilapia serves as a valuable protein source for children, meeting their dietary needs and contributing to overall nutritional adequacy (Moyo & Rapatsa-Malatji, 2023). Enriching food products with tilapia protein concentrate can enhance their nutritional value, providing essential nutrients for children's health (Goes et al, 2016).…”

Stunting, stemming from chronic malnutrition in young children, presents a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, impairing physical, mental, cognitive, and intellectual growth. Protein deficiency notably contributes to this condition. Tilapia, a readily available and cost-effective animal protein source, contains essential complete proteins. This study investigates how tilapia consumption impacts stunted toddlers' growth and development. Employing systematic review methods following PRISMA guidelines, searches on Scopus and Google Scholar using specific keywords yielded 17 relevant articles from the last decade. Findings suggest that supplementing food and fortifying diets positively affect stunted toddlers' height and weight, while nutrition education enhances maternal knowledge and practices. Combined interventions are more effective than singular ones. Tilapia's nutritional richness in protein, omega-3, vitamin B12, iron, phosphorus, and selenium supports stunted toddlers' growth and development, potentially preventing stunting and improving their nutritional status. Regular tilapia consumption fosters bone, muscle, and brain development, positively influencing weight, height, and overall health. Widening tilapia accessibility can aid in mitigating stunting and enhancing toddler nutrition. Incorporating tilapia into diets alongside proper education and stimulation represents a promising strategy against stunting in Indonesia. Strengthening promotion efforts and parental education regarding tilapia's benefits is crucial for combating stunting effectively.
