“…Antioxidant enzymes include SOD, catalase, and GR that constitute the first line of the enzymatic defense mechanism against free radicals in organisms (Deng, Mai, Chen, Mi, & Zhang, 2015). While opposite trends were found in yellow catfish fed with dietary TM level at 9%-27%, which showed increased SOD activities and decreased MDA concentration, they believed vitamin E might play a role in feed (Su et al, 2017). MDA is the end-product of lipid peroxidation, which causes toxic stress in cells and is used as a biomarker to measure the level of oxidative stress in an organism (Liu et al, 2011).…”

“…Similarly in the liver and serum of juvenile L. vannamei, decreasing SOD activities and increasing MDA concentration were found as incremental of dietary housefly maggot meal, they believed if replacement level was too high would make shrimp in a state of oxidative stress (Cao et al, 2012). While opposite trends were found in yellow catfish fed with dietary TM level at 9%-27%, which showed increased SOD activities and decreased MDA concentration, they believed vitamin E might play a role in feed (Su et al, 2017).…”

A 50-day feeding trial was conducted for juvenile pearl gentian grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus ♂ 9 Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀) to determine the optimal amount of Tenebrio molitor meal (TM) that could replace fishmeal (FM) in feeds without reducing growth performance, antioxidant enzyme activities and resistance. Six isonitrogenous and isolipidic diets were formulated with TM replacing 0% FM respectively. Each diet was randomly divided into triplicate groups with 30 juveniles (initial weight 6.60 AE 0.00 g). After feeding trail, fish were challenged by Vibrio harveyi for 7 days.The results showed that each treatment had better survival rate between 96.67% and 100%. Fish fed with control and T6 diet showed lower final weight and weight gain rate as compared to other diets. The feed conversion ratio of fish fed on T12 and T18 diet had no significant difference compared to control diet. As compared to control diet, other diets had no significant differences on specific growth rate and temperature growth coefficient. Fish fed with T6 diet had highest liver glutathione reductase activities. No significant differences were observed in liver superoxide dismutase activities in fish fed with T6, T12, T25, T31 and control diet.Fish fed on T18 diet had lowest hepatic malondialdehyde contents and a highest relative per cent survival. According to a broken-line model, the recommended substituted ratio of TM for FM was estimated to be 12.3% for grouper obtaining maximum WGR, corresponding to additive amount of TM is 4.92%.

“…TM is considered a good alternative ingredient for the partial replacement of FM in the diets of several fish species [14,15,18,20]. However, high dietary inclusion levels (usually higher than 25%-30%) have been reported to negatively affect fish performance, usually due to a deficiency of some nutrients, such as some EAAs [7,13].…”

“…The use of Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) as a partial substitute for conventional protein sources has been studied for different aquaculture species, and promising results have been observed for fish growth performance, diet digestibility, and immune system parameters [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. However, in the majority of these studies, the experimental diets were characterized by just a few ingredients (fewer than those normally used in commercial fish diets formulations) and by high levels of FM inclusion (up to 75% as fed).…”

Insect meals are good candidates to replace fishmeal as new protein sources in aquafeeds. This study evaluated the effects of fishmeal replacement with different dietary inclusion levels of a partially defatted Tenebrio molitor (L.) larva meal (TM) on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss Walbaum) growth, diet digestibility, and hepatic intermediary metabolism. A 154-day growth trial was performed with 252 rainbow trout (78.3 ± 6.24 g) randomly divided into twelve tanks and fed four experimental diets containing increasing levels of TM: 0% (TM0), 25% (TM25), 50% (TM50), and 100% (TM100) of fishmeal substitution, corresponding to TM dietary inclusion levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 20%, respectively. A digestibility trial was performed feeding 180 rainbow trout (94.6 ± 7.31 g) with the experimental diets used in the growth trial. The growth parameters were not affected by TM dietary inclusion. Regarding the evaluated apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC), only the ADC of crude protein was affected, showing the following trend: TM0 = TM25 > TM50 > TM100. The activities of key hepatic amino acid catabolic and lipogenic enzymes were not affected by the dietary composition. The results suggest that a partially defatted TM could totally replace fishmeal in commercial rainbow trout diets without negative effects on fish performance.

“…Insects have also been proposed as a potential source of bioactive compounds. In this respect, it has been speculate that insect's antioxidant peptides, chitin and antimicrobial peptides could stimulate the immune system (Su et al 2017;Henry et al 2018;Komi et al 2018;Kvalsvik Stenberg et al 2019), and modulate gut microbiome in animals (Bruni et al 2018;Antonopoulou et al 2019;Biasato et al 2019b;Rimoldi et al 2019), thus promoting health and welfare (J ozefiak and Engberg 2017; Gasco et al 2018b;Wu et al 2018).…”

This paper reviews current knowledge on two feedstuffs, that is, insect meal and fish by-products, as alternatives to conventional animal protein sources. After an introductory part that highlights the need for sustainable development of animal production, the alternative protein sources are discussed. In particular, after providing some indications on their production and supply focussing on EU, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis was performed to identify the key factors that could help or impair the development of both protein sources production sectors. Finally, future perspectives are presented. The use of processed animal proteins derived from insects in farmed fish feeding is recognised by the EU legislation that authorises the use of proteins from seven insect species and the allowed substrates to rear insects. Insects have several advantages in nutritional value and the amino acid composition of their proteins generally meet animal requirements for good growth and health. The SWOT analysis indicated that insect meals can be considered as feed functional ingredients with beneficial properties that depend on the insect species, rearing system adopted, and the substrate used for their growth. Insects are expected to be increasingly used as a replacement for conventional animal-derived proteins, especially in aquafeeds. In the section regarding fishery and aquaculture by-products, the potential use of raw materials obtained during seafood processing is discussed. Peptides and amino acids recovered from as hydrolysed proteins can be used in animal feeds to partially substitute conventional protein feedstuffs thus providing nutrients, bioactive compounds and feed additives for animals. The SWOT analysis identified opportunities and weaknesses. Both the alternative protein sources are promising alternative feed ingredients for livestock production. HIGHLIGHTSThe sustainable development of animal production sector needs alternative protein sources for feeds formulation. Insects and fishery-and aquaculture by-products represent optimal alternative protein sources. A SWOT analysis has identified the key factors for the development of both protein sources production sectors. ARTICLE HISTORY
