“…The feeding trial of Basto, et al [ 60 ] indicated the potential ability of defatted TM larvae to substitute up to 80% of FM in D. labrax diets. A recent study by Mastoraki, et al [ 23 ] suggested that 30% of FM can be effectively substituted with whole TM larvae, with no harmful impacts on the fish growth performance. Interestingly, Reyes, et al [ 61 ] reported that substitution of less than 50% of FM in sea bass diets with TM larvae did not influence on growth indices or proximate analysis of the fillets.…”

“…However, Reyes, et al [ 61 ] recorded no significant differences in the FCR and PER in D. labrax fed for 49 days a diet with 50% of FM replaced with TM larvae compared with the FM-based group. Mastoraki, et al [ 23 ] reported no significant differences in the SGR, FI, viscerosomatic index (VSI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), and relative gut length (RGL), alongside a slight increase in the FCR, in D. labrax fed diets with 30% of FM replaced with whole TM larvae for 84 days compared with the FM group.…”

“…Reyes, et al [ 61 ] found no significant variations in the proximate composition of D. labrax fillets fed diets with 50% of FM replaced with TM larvae. Conversely, Mastoraki, et al [ 23 ] reported a significant decrease in the CP, DM, EE, and GE, alongside the highest n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) content, in D. labrax fed diets with 30% of FM replaced with whole TM larvae.…”

“…Jeong, et al [ 22 ] elucidated no significant differences in ALT, AST, ALP, ALB, TP, TCHO, and TBIL levels among rainbow trout fed different levels of full-fat TM larvae replacing FM in their diets compared to the FM group. Mastoraki, et al [ 23 ] also reported no significant differences in plasma phospholipids, AST, ALT, and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) activities of D. labrax fed diets supplemented with several levels of TM compared to controls. Meanwhile, D. labrax fed with TM diets exhibited a significant decrease in plasma GLU, CHO, lactate, and TG values compared to the FM group.…”

“…The use of T. molitor for partial or complete substitution of FM in aquafeed has been extensively assessed, on a scientific basis, according to its influence on fish growth and nutrient use in a wide range of finfish species such as yellow catfish ( Pelteobagrus fulvidraco ) [ 20 ], Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) [ 17 ], rainbow trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss ) [ 21 , 22 ], European sea bass ( Dicentrarchus labrax ) [ 23 , 24 , 25 ], gilthead sea bream ( Sparus aurata ) [ 26 , 27 ], Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) [ 28 ], and red seabream ( Pargus major ) [ 29 ] among others, and also in shellfish species such as the giant freshwater prawn ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ) [ 30 , 31 ].…”

The success of the aquafeed industry mainly depends on the availability of raw ingredients with high nutritional value, such as fishmeal (FM). However, the increased demand for FM elevates its prices and leads to high feed costs. Thus, there is an urgent need to find suitable alternatives for FM in fish diets to achieve sustainability in aquaculture. Currently, attention is being paid to the possibility of using insect meals as FM substitutes in aquafeed because of their relatively high nutritional quality. TM is one of those insects that can be regarded as a unique candidate because of its relatively high nutritional value. TM are rich sources of essential amino acids (methionine), lipids, and fatty acids, which vary based on the developmental stage of the worms. Although TM have an abundant amount of chitin as a fiber source and other anti-nutritional factors, numerous studies have investigated the efficacy of partial or complete substitution of FM by T. molitor in fish diets. In this context, we reviewed the current research findings on the achievable inclusion levels of T. molitor versus FM substitution in the diets of several finfish and shellfish species. We discussed the potential use of T. molitor as an FM substitute in fish diets and evaluated its effects on growth, biometric indices, and body composition. Besides, the hematological parameters, immunological responses, antioxidative efficacy, intestinal health status, and sensory criteria of fish fed T. molitor-based diets were also assessed.

Among the wide variety of alternative ingredients aimed to substitute sh meal in aquafeeds, insect meals have been recently proposed as novel, nutritionally good dietary components. In the present study, early juveniles of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) were fed ve isoproteic and isoenergetic experimental diets formulated with varying dietary levels of Madagascar cockroach meal substituting shmeal on a dietary protein basis (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%). Diets were supplied for 29 days to eventually compare growth parameters among treatments and to estimate the relative assimilation of the dietary nitrogen supplied by shmeal and insect meal. Nitrogen stable isotope analyses were applied to diets and sh muscle tissue to explore the isotopic changes elicited by the experimental ingredients and to estimate the nutritional contributions of these ingredients to sh growth. At the end of the bioassay no statistical differences were detected in nal mean weight, speci c growth and survival rates among treatments.Isotopic changes over time allowed calculating the nitrogen turnover rate in muscle tissue and the time required to reach isotopic equilibrium. The relative proportions of dietary nitrogen supplied by insect and sh meal were similar to the established dietary proportions. Cockroach meal in all mixed diets supplied relatively high proportions of dietary nitrogen (from 16 to 69%) to the biosynthesis of sh muscle tissue.Due to the high growth promoted by the diets, the nitrogen turnover rates in muscle tissue were short and ranged from 4.7 to 6.2 d, except in diet containing 100% cockroach meal (7.8 d).
