“…Regarding nutritive value, there are several facts supporting consideration of insects as a component of animal feeds: the natural diets of many species, such as poultry, pig, and all cultivated species of fish, include invertebrates such as oligochaetes, crustaceans and insects (Weir 1972;Bell et al 1994;Matthews 1998;Matsuno et al 1999;Khan & Panikkar 2009).

Nutritional evaluation ofTenebrio molitormeal as fishmeal substitute for tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diet

et al. 2015

Fishmeal (FM) and soy meal (SM) are the most common protein sources used in fish feed, but they are associated with environmental, economic or production problems. Insects could be an interesting alternative source of protein. This work investigates the nutritive value of Tenebrio molitor meal (TM) and the effect of total replacement of SM by TM (TM/FM diet) or partial replacement of FM by TM (TM/FM/SM diet) versus a diet based in SM and FM (FM/SM diet) for tilapia. We studied the chitin content in TM, the in vitro protein digestibility, protease activity, oxidative stress and antioxidant defences, growth performance and nutrient utilization. The results indicate that an inclusion up to 500 g kg−1 of TM in the diet did not affect feed intake, in vitro protein digestibility, muscle amino acid composition or biometric indexes. However, their inclusion reduced growth performance and affected the muscle fatty acid profile. The lowest values for protease activity, elevated FRAP in digestive tracts and ROS level in muscle and higher SOD activity were observed in fish fed with SM/FM diet. The use of TM requires better understanding of the role of chitin in digestion and the study of toxins that might affect fish growth.

“…Insects have the advantages of fast growth, reproducing easily, ingesting biowastes and high feed conversion efficiency (Makkar, Tran, Heuzé, & Ankers, ; Van Huis et al, ). Most importantly, some cultivated species of fish ingest insects in nature (Bell, Ghioni, & Sargent, ; Khan & Panikkar, ; Matsuno et al, ; Weir, ).…”

This study was conducted to investigate whether dietary supplementation of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus) pulp (BSFP) affects growth performance, antioxidant capacity and intestinal health of juvenile mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio var. specularis). A total of 270 juvenile mirror carp (13.68 ± 0.02 g) were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments, BSFP0, BSFP25, BSFP50, BSFP75 and BSFP100, in which BSFP was included in the basal diet at 0, 43.7, 87.3, 131 and 174.7 g/kg, respectively. Then, fish were fed to apparent satiation for 8 weeks. Fish growth performance and nutrient utilization were not different among the five groups (p > .05). Increasing BSFP dietary content significantly decreased whole‐body lipid content but increased kidney index (p < .05). The general relative intestine length was significantly higher in the BSFP100 group than the BSFP0 group (p < .05). Increasing BSFP dietary content significantly increased serum catalase activity and decreased malonaldehyde content (p < .05). The intestinal villus height, villus area and muscle layer thickness were significantly lower in the BSFP100 group than the BSFP0 group (p < .05). No significant differences in the activity of intestinal trypsin, lipase and amylase were observed among all groups (p > .05). In conclusion, this study indicated that BSFP at the level below 131 g/kg could be added in diet of juvenile mirror carp without any negative effect on growth performance and intestinal health. Dietary BSFP inclusion at low levels decreased the whole‐body lipid content and increased the antioxidant activity of juvenile mirror carp.

“…Hsu (Hsu et al 1972) and Katayama (Katayama et al 1973) have shown that goldfish ( Carassius auratus ) potentially use lutein as precursor to astaxanthin. However, this bioconversion pathway requires the isomerization of α-doradexanthin to β-doradexanthin, a transformation that others have shown to be unlikely in fungus, plants, and other marine animals (Matsuno et al 1999; Ohkubo et al 1999).…”

0Red carotenoid-based coloration is widely distributed across marine and terrestrial animals and 1 1 has taken a prominent role in studies of how phenotypic traits evolve in response to natural and 1 2 sexual selection. Key to these studies is an understanding of the physiological mechanisms that 1 3give rise to red coloration, yet an ideal model system for such work has not been identified.
