“…Insect meal, particularly silkworm meal, has been demonstrated to have immune-modulatory and physiological effects in aquatic species, making it a functional element capable of increasing immune-stimulatory effects in a variety of aquatic animals (The protein of silkworm pupae is high in phenylalanine, methionine, and valine, three important amino acids [122]. Silk worm meal, an insect-based diet, can be used in place of fish meal to enhance the biochemical composition and growth performance of Catla-rohu hybrids [123].…”

Food security is a critical concern for nations like India, where poverty affects access to nutritious food for a significant portion of the population. While India has made strides in addressing this issue through agricultural revolutions, evolving demands necessitate a reformation in aquaculture practices. With a global surge in demand for fish and fisheries products due to their nutritional benefits, aquaculture has become pivotal. However, the intensification of aquaculture brings risks such as disease outbreaks and rising costs of essential feed ingredients like fish meal, particularly impacting the shrimp industry. To mitigate these challenges, exploring alternatives like bioactive feed additives sourced from marine and agricultural origins emerges as a promising solution. Marine derivatives such as algae offer nutritional benefits and bioactive compounds, while agri-industrial wastes provide versatile applications, including medicinal plant extracts and plant-based ingredients. Additionally, complex bioactive feed ingredients like probiotics, prebiotics, metabiotics, and phytobiotics show promise for enhancing the health and productivity of cultivated aquatic organisms. Integration of these alternatives into aquaculture practices presents a sustainable approach to improving food security, feeding efficiency, animal health and economic sustainability in India and beyond.

“…SWP meal was found to be an advantageous sustainable feed element in carp diets, with benefits for boosting growth performance and specific physiological markers, according to an eleven-week feeding research on Cyprinus carpio [259]. In the rainbow shark (Epalzeorhynchos frenatum), feeding experiments revealed that SPM could substitute up to 30% of FM in the diet [260].…”

Most of world’s fish and seafood are produced by aquaculture, which is one of the biggest contributors to the world’s food security. The substantial increase in prices of conventional feed ingredients and the over-exploitation of natural resources are some of the biggest constraints to aquaculture production. To overcome this stress, different approaches and techniques are used, among which the use of non-conventional feed ingredients in the aquaculture sector is the most recent approach. Different non-conventional feed ingredients such as plant-based products, algae (both micro and macroalgae), single-cell protein (bacteria and yeast), and insect meal are currently used in aquaculture for sustainable food production. Amongst all these novel ingredients, insects have greater potential to replace fishmeal. The existence of about 1.3 billion tons of food and agriculture waste from the food chain supply poses a serious environmental threat. Insects are tiny creatures that can thrive on organic waste and thus can convert the waste to wealth by the bioconversion and nutritional upcycling of organic waste. Insects have the potential to recover nutrients from waste aquaculture products, and many fish species feed on insects naturally. Therefore, employing insects in the aquaculture sector to replace fishmeal is an eco-friendly approach. The present review briefly highlights emerging non-conventional feed ingredients, with special attention given to insects. The current review also focuses on the nutritional value of insects, factors affecting the nutritional value of insects, potential insects that can be employed in the aquaculture sector, the physiological response of fish when fed with insect meal, techno-functional properties of insect meal, and emerging approaches for addressing possible downsides of employing insect meal in fish diets. Finally, it suggests avenues for further research into these inventive fishmeal replacements.

“…Therefore, a better way to mitigate the negative environmental impact of the silk industry is to use these precious resources for feeding poultry and farm animals. Due to their high nutritional content, silk pupae have been used as a possible feed source for livestock and poultry [60,62,90]. This paper examines how silkworm pupae are used as a substitute protein source for cattle and poultry feed, to improve productivity and reduce environmental pollution.…”

The rising cost of soy meal and other ingredients for animal and poultry feed has sparked a hunt for protein alternatives. Pupae of silkworms are a good source of protein and are included in the natural feed diet. Over the last decade, studies on the replacement of feedstuff with silkworm pupal have emerged with promising results. The silkworm pupae, which are a byproduct of the silk reeling industry, possess a high nutritional value which makes them a great choice for poultry feed. Dry pupae contain 50–70% crude protein and 24–33% crude lipid and is a high-quality insect protein source with a rich, balanced content of essential amino acids. Recommended inclusion levels of silkworm pupae meal have been developed as a result of several studies conducted on livestock species. This meal is guaranteed to provide better growth performance than commercial meal (soyabean meal).
