Three extruded experimental diets were formulated (45% CP; 20% CL) to 17 include 0, 50 and 75% of protein from MBM (diets MBM0; MBM50; MBM75). Triplicate 18 groups of seabream (IBW=25g) were fed these diets to satiety for 12 weeks. Growth 19 performance and feed efficiency were similar with the diets MBM0 and MBM50, but were 20 lower with diet MBM75, while the opposite was true for feed intake. Whole-body 21 composition was not affected by diets composition except for crude lipid and energy 22 content, which were lower with the diet MBM75. Protein and essential amino acids 23 retention were unaffected by diet composition, while energy retention was lower with the 24 diet MBM75. In terms of economic efficiency, diets with MBM resulted in a lower 25 production costs, with the lowest economic conversion ratio (€ kg -1 fish produced) being 26 obtained for the MBM diets while the maximum economic profit (€ kg fish -1 ) was obtained 27 for diet MBM50. Overall, up to 50% of FM protein can be replaced by MBM protein in 28 diets for gilthead seabream juveniles, without compromising growth performance, feed 29 utilization, and nutrient retention. 30 31 Key-words 32 alternative feedstuffs; fish meal replacement; meat and bone meal; amino acids; growth 33 performance; economic profit 34

Use of Porcine Meal in Plant‐based Practical Diets for Pacific White Shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei

“…Dietary PM supplementation up to 6% did not significantly affect protein, lipid, moisture, and mineral profiles of whole‐body shrimp across all treatments. Similarly, no significant differences were detected in the proximate composition of the whole body when various MBMs were supplemented at low and moderate levels in the diets for gibel carp, Carassius auratus gibelio (Zhang et al ); gilthead seabream, Sparus aurata (Moutinho et al ); Pacific white shrimp (Hernández et al ); snakehead, Ophiocephalus argus (Yu et al ); sutchi catfish, Pangasius hypophthalmus (Kader et al ); and yellow croaker, Pseudosciaena crocea (Ai et al ).…”

Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) pre-pupae meal as a fish meal replacement in diets for European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

“…However, plant feedstuffs have relatively low protein content, unbalanced essential amino acid profiles, low palatability, the presence of antinutrients, and competition with other food-feed industry sectors (Gatlin et al, 2007;Glencross et al, 2007;Krogdahl et al, 2010). This has pressured the search for nutritional strategies to improve utilization of plant protein-based diets (Gatlin et al, 2007;Magalhães et al, 2016;Pérez-Jiménez et al, 2012), as well as for other valuable alternatives to fish meal, such as animal feedstuffs, including slaughterhouse byproducts or insect meals (IM) (Moutinho et al, 2016;Oliva-Teles et al, 2015). Several reviews on the use of insects as ingredients for aquafeeds are available (e.g., Barroso et al, 2014;Makkar et al, 2014;Sánchez-Muros et al, 2014; van Huis, 2013; van Huis et al, 2013).…”

Influence of replacing fish meal with enzymatic hydrolysates of defatted silkworm pupa (Bombyx moriL.) on growth performance, body composition and non-specific immunity of juvenile mirror carp (Cyprinus carpio var. specularis)

“…Aquaculture has a rapid expansion on a global scale in the last decade. It has promoted the consumption of feed industry, especially the fish meal (FM) (Moutinho et al., ). But now FM has become a limiting factor for a sustained growth of fish farming (Martínez‐Llorens, Baeza‐Ariño, Nogales‐Mérida, Jover‐Cerdá, & Tomás‐Vidal, ).…”
