Abstract:
This research project aims to explore the potential of using insect protein as an alternative feed source for aquaculture. With the increasing demand for sustainable and environmentally friendly aquaculture practices, finding alternative protein sources for fish feed is crucial. Insects are rich in protein and have a low environmental impact compared to traditional feed sources such as fishmeal. The study will focus on evaluating the nutritional composition, digestibility, growth performance, and health of aquaculture species fed with insect protein-based diets. By understanding the potential of insect protein, valuable insights can be gained to promote sustainable aquaculture practices and reduce reliance on fishmeal.
