“…Further studies in fish, showed that increased substitution or replacement of FM by insect meal simultaneously increase the chitin level and affected the digestibility of proteins (Longvah et al, 2011) and lipids (Kroeckel et al, 2012). Replacement of FM by 30% non-deoiled SWP showed higher protein digestibility in catla (Umalatha et al, 2018), common carp (Jayaram and Shetty, 1980;Nandheesa et al, 1990;Gangadhar et al, 2017) and Labeo firmbriatus (Gangadhar et al, 2017), compared to fishes fed control diet.…”

The aim of this study was to determine the impact of replacing fishmeal with silkworm pupae (Bombyx mori) meal in the diet of rainbow shark Epalzeorhynchos frenatum (Fowler, 1934), on growth and maturation. Four isonitrogenous and isocalorific experimental diets (35% CP) were prepared using silkworm pupae (SWP) replacing fish meal at three different levels viz., 30% (T1), 40% (T2) and 50% (T3) and diet with only fish meal served as control (C). The experimental trail was conducted in hapas, in duplicates, installed in an earthen pond. The fish (average weight - 1.4 g and total length - 5.24 cm) were stocked @10 nos. per hapa. During the experimental period, water quality parameters were monitored routinely. The experimental diets T1, T2 and T3 performed significantly better than diet C (control) in terms of growth performance. Among the four diets, T1 showed significantly higher weight gain (5.18±0.28 g), specific growth rate, SGR (2.54±0.07% day-1), protein efficienvy ratio, PER (1.50±0.04) and food conversion ratio, FCR (1.91±0.06) compared to other treatment groups. Among all the diets, highest gonadosomatic index, GSI (14.90%) was obtained in fish fed diet T1. At the end of the experiment, all the experimental diets fed fishes showed similar stages of maturity, late vitellogenic stage. Overall, the results of the present study conclude that SWP can be used as a low-cost animal protein to replace fish meal upto 30% in the diet.

“…However, arachidonic acid content in fish muscle was significantly increased when replacing different proportions of FM with GBFLM, indicating that larvae are appropriate vectors for introducing target PUFA in fish muscle. Silkworm pupa (SWP) meal has been successfully used as a fish feed ingredient by several authors (Gangadhar et al., 2017; Ji et al., 2015). Chakraborty et al.…”

A study was conducted with non‐conventional ingredients to test their efficacy as fishmeal (FM) replacers in the diet of fringe‐ lipped carp. Labeo fimbriatus first feeding larvae and fry were reared for 30 and 60 days in indoor, 50 L, aerated, circular plastic tanks at 100 and 30 numbers tank−1, respectively. In the first feeding larvae to fry rearing experiment (Exp. 1), the fish were fed with either of the following isonitrogenous and isocaloric diets – live plankton, FM diet, green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) larvae meal (GBFLM) diet and silkworm pupa (SWP) diet. The fry to fingerling rearing (Exp. 2), was also conducted using the same diets described above except live plankton. All compounded diets were formulated to contain 40% crude protein for the experiment 1 and 35% for experiment 2 and were fed ad libitum. Triplicate tanks were maintained for each treatment in both the experiments. In Exp. 1, the mean final weight of fry was higher with plankton and FM diets, while no difference (p > .05) was observed between FM and GBFLM diets. Weight of fish fed SWP diets was not statistically different from those fed GBFLM diet. No difference (p > .05) in final length, survival and condition factor was recorded. Analysis of digestive enzyme activity of whole fish revealed lower (p < .05) activity of amylase in fish fed plankton. In Exp. 2, no difference (p > .05) was observed between the different diet groups in terms of mean final weight, length, survival and condition factor. Analysis of digestive enzyme activity of whole fish revealed no difference (p > .05) in the activity of digestive enzymes between the treatments except a lower (p < .05) activity of trypsin in FM diet and lipase in FM and GBFLM diets. Since the survival and condition factors of animals is the most important aspect during nursery rearing, similar (p > .05) values recorded in different treatments indicate the possibility of incorporation of these non‐conventional protein sources in the diet of L. fimbriatus during first feeding larvae to fry and fry to fingerling rearing.

Aquaculture activity supplies high-quality protein at affordable cost. A global call for foods of aquatic origin has heightened not only due to the zooming population growth, but also because of a choice of healthier foods for human beings. As the industry expands, it is facing the high cost of feeding because the key ingredients, that is fishmeal and fish oil, of aquadiet are very expensive. Identification of alternate foodstuffs that will remarkably minimize the expense of productivity of animal protein becomes a priority with due regard to environmental footprint. Alternative feed components are vital in partially or completely substituting unsustainable but high-value components or constituents that will otherwise have direct competition with human use. Utilization of aquatic plants as a substitute for fish meal has the potential to revolutionize aquaculture in meeting global protein demand. A lot of money is spent on aquatic weed management, so this research idea tries to integrate both economic aspects and the environmental concerns. Macrophyte-based feed ingredients have promising nutrient profile: crude protein ranges between 11% and 32%; lipid, 2.90% and 16.81%; and ash, 8% and 31%, a good array of amino acids; and a good amount of micro-and macronutrients that make them prosperous substituents for fish feed.
