Biofortified black soldier fly larvae meal as an alternative to crystalline amino acid supplementation in diets for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Aug 2026 · Aquaculture International · Vol 34 · 0 citations · 51 references

TL;DR

Results suggest that amino acid limitations in BSFL-based diets can affect feed efficiency and intestinal structure in rainbow trout, but these effects were mitigated by either crystalline amino acid supplementation or substrate biofortification of the insect biomass.

Influence of dietary black soldier fly larvae meal on largemouth bass growth performance, nutrient cycling and elemental dynamics in aquaponics

The use of aquaculture feed ingredients based on wild fish capture is an ecological concern since it leads to natural habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity. Addressing this concern, black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) has been suggested as a promising alternative ingredient to replace fish meal. To date, t...
