“…According to Yahya et al (2013) the protein requirement for Arowana fish is no different from the protein requirement for carnivorous fish such as catfish or others, therefore using crickets as natural food for Arowana fish is the right choice because crickets have a high protein content. This is in accordance with the statement of Pastell et al (2021) crickets contain more than 50% protein content and contain high levels of lysine and methionine.…”

This research aimed to determine the feed types for Brazilian silver Arowana (Osteoglossum bicirrhosum), consisting of Poecilia reticulata (guppy fish), Gryllus mitratus (local cricket) and Blaptica Dubia (Dubia roach). The best feed ratios were compared to improve the performance growth of Arowana. The research was conducted in October - November 2022 at the ornamental fish farm named Badai Arwana Tasikmalaya, West Java. This research used an experimental method with a completely randomized design through five treatments and four repetitions. The treatments consisted of (A) guppy fish as the control feed (100%); (B) local cricket as the tested feed (100%); (C) Dubia roach as the tested feed (100%), (D) combination of guppy fish (50%) with local cricket (50%); and (E) combination of guppy fish (50%) with Dubia roach (50%). The treatments were given for 40 days, and the growth parameters of those Arowana seeds were then observed every 10 days. The observed parameters covered Survival Rate (SR), Absolute Length Growth (L), Absolute Weight Growth (W), Feed Conversion ratio (FCR), and Water Quality. SR, W, L, and FCR data were analyzed using ANOVA with a significant level of 95% and if there is a significant difference, the Duncan test will be further conducted. Meanwhile, water quality was descriptively analyzed. The research results showed that the feed combination of guppy fish (50%) with local cricket (50%) could improve the SR and growth performance of Arowana seeds. The given feed combination with the ratio of guppy fish (50%) with local cricket (50%) resulted in SR (100%), L (9.07 cm), W (10.53 g), and FCR (2.36). Meanwhile, the water quality during the research was in appropriate and stable conditions.

“…However, the effect of this type of feed on fish performance has been poorly studied. Tran et al (2015), Jayanegara et al (2017), Taufek et al (2018a), Fialho et al (2021), Jeong et al (2021) and Pastell et al (2021) reported that cricket contains more than 50% protein, a high level of lysine, and methionine. However, while these are the most limited amino acids in fish feed, fish still need them for physical development (NRC 2011;Taufek et al2018a).…”

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of crickets enriched with a source of carotenoids on fish’s growth, colour, and total carotenoid content in juvenile Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus). Six juveniles were fed with different enriched crickets (G. sigilatus) based on the following treatments: (A) Crickets fed with fish feed without enrichment, (B) Crickets fed with fish feed containing 500 ppm of synthetic astaxanthin, and (C) Crickets fed with a combination of 50% fish feed, 48% sand crab meal and 2% marigold petal meal. The results of the study revealed that The weight gain (WG), specific growth rate (SGR), feed efficiency (FE), length gain (LG), and survival rate (SR) for treatment A were 110 g, 1.16% head/day, 45.79%, 10.98 cm, and 100% respectively. There was also no significant difference (P>0.05) with the other treatments. However, treatment B had a positive effect on the redness (a*) of the Arowana tail with a value of 9.52, and treatment C increased the yellowness (b*) of the Arowana body with a value of 2.77 (P<0.05), which was different to the other treatments. There were no differences between any of the treatments concerning the effects on lightness (L*), chromaticity (C*), and hue (H*) on either the body or the tail. The astaxanthin enrichment produced the highest carotenoid content (P<0.05) with a value of 45.09 µg/g. Enriching crickets with astaxanthin influence colour and carotenoid content but not the growth of the Asian Arowana fish.

In the European Union, insects and products thereof fall under Regulation (EU) 2283/2015 on Novel Foods, as they were not consumed to a significant degree within the EU before 15 May 1997. This chapter elucidates the risk assessment process performed by EFSA, highlighting the various elements considered when assessing the safety of insect-derived foodstuffs. The information discussed stems from EFSA outputs on the safety evaluation of such products, which have confirmed the safety of their consumption under the proposed conditions of use.
