“…Our results demonstrate the diet in which 25% of FM protein has been replaced by BSFL meal protein resulted in the best results as compared with the control, and the replacement ratios up to 48% were possible without negative consequences. These results are in agreement with a previous study indicating BSF prepupae meal could replace up to 45% FM in the diet of juvenile European seabass without adverse effects on growth performance (Magalhães et al., ). Compared with house fly maggot meal, our results are better as a previous study indicated that only ≤20% in the diet of yellow catfish was possible (Wen et al., ).…”

Effects of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens ) larvae meal protein as a fishmeal replacement on the growth and immune index of yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco )

A 65 days feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the potential of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as a fish meal (FM) protein alternative in the diet of yellow catfish. Fish meal protein was replaced with BSFL meal protein at 0% (control), 13%, 25%, 37%, 48%, 68%, 85% and 100%. Compared with the control group, increased growth performances (e.g. weight gain rate increased by 21.7%) and immune indexes (e.g. serum lysozyme activity increased by 6.8%) of yellow catfish fed with diets in which a maximum of 48% FM protein was replaced by BSFL meal protein was determined. The diet in which 25% FM protein was replaced by BSFL meal protein resulted in the greatest growth performances (e.g. weight gain rate increased by 29.1%) and immune indexes (e.g. serum lysozyme activity increased by 31.9%) as well as the lowest feed conversion ratio (0.9) among all diets tested. No significant differences in survival rate, body indexes or composition were determined among all treatments. Therefore, BSFL meal protein has the potential to partially replace FM protein in the diet of yellow catfish, and it may also enhance the immunocompetence of the fish.

“…The results of growth performance analysis indicated that BSFP could be included to diets of juvenile mirror carp without negative effects. Similar results have been found on Pacific white shrimp ( Litopenaeus vannamei Boon), European seabass ( Dicentrarchus labrax L.) and yellow catfish ( Tachysurus fulvidraco Richardson) when BSF larvae were included in their diets (Cummins et al, ; Hu et al, ; Magalhães et al, ). However, other studies on turbot ( Scophthalmus maximus L.) and Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus L.) indicated that including BSF larvae into their diet significantly reduced their growth performance (Kroeckel et al, ; Webster et al, ).…”

This study was conducted to investigate whether dietary supplementation of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens Linnaeus) pulp (BSFP) affects growth performance, antioxidant capacity and intestinal health of juvenile mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio var. specularis). A total of 270 juvenile mirror carp (13.68 ± 0.02 g) were randomly allotted to five dietary treatments, BSFP0, BSFP25, BSFP50, BSFP75 and BSFP100, in which BSFP was included in the basal diet at 0, 43.7, 87.3, 131 and 174.7 g/kg, respectively. Then, fish were fed to apparent satiation for 8 weeks. Fish growth performance and nutrient utilization were not different among the five groups (p > .05). Increasing BSFP dietary content significantly decreased whole‐body lipid content but increased kidney index (p < .05). The general relative intestine length was significantly higher in the BSFP100 group than the BSFP0 group (p < .05). Increasing BSFP dietary content significantly increased serum catalase activity and decreased malonaldehyde content (p < .05). The intestinal villus height, villus area and muscle layer thickness were significantly lower in the BSFP100 group than the BSFP0 group (p < .05). No significant differences in the activity of intestinal trypsin, lipase and amylase were observed among all groups (p > .05). In conclusion, this study indicated that BSFP at the level below 131 g/kg could be added in diet of juvenile mirror carp without any negative effect on growth performance and intestinal health. Dietary BSFP inclusion at low levels decreased the whole‐body lipid content and increased the antioxidant activity of juvenile mirror carp.

“…The larvae of H. illucens are scavengers able to feed on a wide range of organic substrates, including municipal organic waste, manure, food waste and human faeces, making them highly suitable for waste management (Diener, Zurbrugg, & Tockner, 2009;Lalander, Fidjeland, Diener, Eriksson, & Vinnerås, 2015;Newton, Sheppard, Watson, Burtle, & Dove, 2005;Nguyen, Tomberlin, & Van Laerhoven, 2013). Furthermore, the larvae of H. illucens contain highly valuable proteins and lipids, suitable to be used as feedstuff in aquaculture, poultry and in the swine industry (Magalhães et al, 2017;Cummins et al, 2017;St-Hilaire et al, 2007;Hale, 1973cited by Newton et al, 2005Newton, Booram, Barker, & Hale, 1977).…”

The larvae of Hermetia illucens are known to successfully bio‐convert a vast range of organic substrates into high protein and fat biomass, but little is known about the larval instars. During this research, larval head capsules and biomass growth were measured daily and the specific metabolic rate of larger instars were considered. The head capsule measurements revealed that H. illucens pass through 6 actively feeding larval stadia before entering the last nonfeeding but migrating 7th stadium. Larval growth follows a sigmoid curve with slowly accelerating growth in the earlier stadia and decelerating growth in the latest stadia. In contrast, development was fast until reaching stadium 6 and then slowed down. Accordingly, the specific metabolic rate was high in instars 3, 4 and 5 and reduced in instars 6 and 7.
