“…In the present study, the serum CAT activities of BSFP25, BSFP50, BSFP75 and BSFP100 groups were significantly higher than that of the BSFP0 group. This result was consistent with Li et al (), who found that serum CAT activities in carp significantly increased when feeding diets with defatted BSF larvae meal. When adding cricket ( Gryllus bimaculatus , De Geer) meal to African catfish diet and maggot meal to carp diet, serum CAT activities showed similar responses (Ogunji, Nimptsch, Wiegand, Schulz, & Rennert, ; Taufek et al, ).…”

“…Taufek et al () pointed that high levels of dietary insect proteins could increase catalase (CAT) activity in African catfish ( Clarias gariepinus , Burchell). Similar results were reported in Jian carp (Li et al, ). Although few studies have investigated the effects of dietary insects on the antioxidant capacity of fish species, considering the related research (Li et al, ; Taufek et al, ; Xu, Ji, Yu, & Zhou, ), we could speculate that insects inclusion in diet may have an effect on the antioxidant capacity of fish.…”

“…Its fatty acid profile is similar to that of many plant oils, and linoleic acid concentration is much greater than that of α‐linolenic acid (Tran, Heuzé, & Makkar, ). Previous research demonstrated that BSF larvae could be used for aquaculture feed, generally in dried or defatted form (Li, Ji, Zhang, Zhou, & Yu, ; Zhou, Liu, Ji, & Yu, ). However, when considering commercial production, these two forms may be influenced by processing technology and equipment, which will lead to nutrition loss and high costs (Wei, ).…”

“…When dietary modifications occur, digestive capacity and morphological changes of the intestinal tract are usually investigated in fish (Elia et al, 2018). Some research indicated that the suitable inclusion levels of BSF larvae in the diet did not have negative effects on gut health and nutrient digestibility by fish (Belghit et al, 2018;Elia et al, 2018;Li et al, 2017Li et al, , 2019Renna et al, 2017). Oxidative stress can strongly regulate and control the pathological status of fish (Martínez-Álvarez, Morales, & Sanz, 2005).…”

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.

“…Depending on the species, stage of development (larval, pupa, nympha or imago) and their growth media, insects can be rich sources of protein, fat, minerals, vitamins and energy, making many insects optimal feedstuffs for animals, including fish. The suitability of the nutrient content but also the physiological effects of insects in fish feed has been widely reviewed (Borgogno et al, ; Gasco et al, ; Li et al, ; Li, Ji, Zhang, Zhou, & Yu, ; Lock, Arsiwalla, & Waagbø, ; Magalhães et al, ; Makkar, Tran, Heuzé, & Ankers, ; Tran, Heuzé, & Makkar, ; van Huis, ). In addition to their nutritive qualities, the utilization of insects as feed implies certain environmental benefits such as their low carbon footprint and high efficiency in the use of nutrients from the growth substrate.…”

Insect-based diets high in lauric acid reduce liver lipids in freshwater Atlantic salmon

et al. 2018

We evaluated the effect of a diet containing insect meal and insect oil on nutrient utilization, tissue fatty acid profile and lipid metabolism of freshwater Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). Insect meal and insect oil from black soldier fly larvae (Hermetia illucens, L.; BSF), naturally high in lauric acid (12:0), were used to produce five experimental diets for an eight-week feeding trial. 85% of the dietary protein was replaced by insect meal and/or all the vegetable oil was replaced by one of two types of insect oil.A typical industrial diet, with protein from fishmeal and soy protein concentrate (50:50) and lipids from fish oil and vegetable oil (33:66), was fed to a control group.The dietary BSF larvae did not modify feed intake or whole body lipid content.Despite the high content of saturated fatty acids in the insect-based diets, the apparent digestibility coefficients of all fatty acids were high. There was a decrease in liver triacylglycerols of salmon fed the insect-based diets compared to the fish fed the control diet. This is likely due to the rapid oxidation and low deposition of the medium-chain fatty acid lauric acid.

Insects have been proposed as potential alternative animal protein sources to replace fishmeal (FM), which is expensive and has limited availability for fish feed formulation.However, studies on the effects of replacing FM with black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae (BSF-L) on growth performance of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fry, water quality and economic benefits are currently limited. This study determined the effects of replacing 100% FM, 75% FM, 50% FM, 25% FM and 0% FM with cheap BSF-L meal, hereafter referred to as BSF-L0, BSF-L25, BSF-L50, BSF-L75 and BSF-L100 diets, respectively for rearing all-male Nile tilapia fry produced by YY technology. The study further determined the optimum percentage of BSF-L meal for maximum growth of Nile tilapia fry. A total of 2400 visually healthy Nile tilapia fry weighing 0.001 g were randomly stocked into 20 plastic tanks (120 fry per tank, four replicates per treatment) and fed the BSF-L diets for 12 weeks. The BSF-L75 diet increased significantly specific growth rate, total weight gain, Zihler's index of fry and nitrate in the culture water but reduced feed conversion ratio of diet and total suspended solids in the culture water (p < 0.05). Feeding the Nile tilapia fry with BSF-L50 diet increased significantly hepatosomatic index (p < 0.05). The diets with BSF-L75 and BSF-L100 reduced significantly the incidence cost by 31.97% and 28.77% (p < 0.05), and increased profit index by 3.97 and 3.44%, respectively. The optimum percentage of BSF-L inclusion required for maximum growth performance of Nile tilapia fry was estimated as 81% to 84% based on polynomial analysis. Taken together, feeding Nile tilapia fry with diets containing 81% to 84% BSF-L meal improved growth performance. The BSF-L75 diet enhanced feed efficiency and had no deleterious effect on the liver and intestines. Meanwhile, it improved nitrate concentration for increased natural productivity. Incorporating 75% BSF-L meal in diets for Nile tilapia fry reduced 30% of feed cost leading to 4% higher economic returns.
