Modulation of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) gut microbiota composition and predicted metabolic capacity by feeding diets with processed black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meals and fractions
Researchers fed Atlantic salmon different preparations of black soldier fly larvae — whole, de-fatted, or with exoskeletons removed — and found that full-fat larvae meal most favorably altered the gut bacteria in young salmon. The findings suggest that how insect feed is processed matters for fish gut health, which has implications for sustainable aquaculture practices.
Supplementary Feed Potential on Histology and Immune Response of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) Exposed to Microplastics
Researchers found that supplementing tilapia feed with probiotics or vitamin C significantly mitigated microplastic-induced organ damage, reducing liver necrosis and inflammation markers while improving intestinal structure and immune cytokine balance.
Probiotics ameliorate polyethylene microplastics-induced liver injury by inhibition of oxidative stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Researchers investigated whether probiotics could protect Nile tilapia from liver damage caused by polystyrene microplastics. The study found that fish pre-fed with probiotics showed significantly reduced oxidative stress markers in the liver compared to those exposed to microplastics alone, suggesting that probiotics may help mitigate microplastic-induced hepatic oxidative damage in fish.
Evaluating the Potential of Marine Invertebrate and Insect Protein Hydrolysates to Reduce Fetal Bovine Serum in Cell Culture Media for Cultivated Fish Production
Researchers evaluated protein hydrolysates from insects and marine invertebrates as replacements for fetal bovine serum in fish cell culture media, working toward more sustainable and cost-effective approaches for cultivated fish production.
Optimizing polystyrene degradation, microbial community and metabolite analysis of intestinal flora of yellow mealworms, Tenebrio molitor.
Yellow mealworm larvae fed only expanded polystyrene were found to biodegrade the plastic, with the efficiency depending on temperature and humidity conditions. The gut microbiome of the larvae played a key role, and researchers identified metabolic pathways involved in polystyrene breakdown, advancing understanding of insect-based plastic biodegradation.
Efficacy of Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae Meal as Feed on Growth Performance for Juvenile Javan Mahseer (Tor tambra)
Black soldier fly larvae meal was tested as a replacement for fishmeal in feed for juvenile Javan Mahseer fish to address the sustainability crisis of fishmeal dependency. Growth performance was evaluated under different substitution levels. This research supports alternatives to overfishing-linked fishmeal while maintaining aquaculture productivity.
Nutritional Compositions of Aquatic Insects Living in Rice Fields, with a Particular Focus on Odonate Larvae
Researchers analyzed the nutritional composition of Pantala dragonfly nymphs harvested from rice fields, finding them to be rich in protein (49% dry weight), all nine essential amino acids, and key minerals, supporting their potential as a sustainable food or feed ingredient.
Evaluating the potential of marine invertebrate and insect protein hydrolysates to reduce fetal bovine serum in cell culture media for cultivated fish production
Researchers found that protein hydrolysates from black soldier fly, cricket, oyster, mussel, and lugworm at low concentrations can significantly enhance zebrafish embryonic stem cell growth in culture media containing 50% less fetal bovine serum, pointing toward more sustainable and cost-effective cell culture alternatives.
Impact of heavy metals, microplastics, and food pathogens on black soldier fly larvae
Researchers fed black soldier fly larvae substrates contaminated with heavy metals, microplastics, and food pathogens to evaluate tolerance and bioconversion efficiency, finding that certain contaminants reduced larval performance and bioconversion rates with implications for insect-based waste recycling.
Sustainable feed formulation to community‐based aquaculture: Oreochromis niloticus fingerlings performance and antioxidant status
This study developed sustainable fish feed formulations for community-based tilapia aquaculture using locally available plant-based ingredients, addressing a need for feeds that reduce dependence on imported fishmeal. Sustainable aquaculture feed reduces both supply chain vulnerability and the indirect environmental footprint of fish farming.
