Is fish sludge safe for bristleworms and black soldier fly larvae to eat?
Bristleworms and fly larvae can feed on fish sludge, but scientists say strict monitoring is key to keeping the food chain safe.
Research proposes full-fat black soldier fly larvae meal as a functional feed additive rather than a primary dietary ingredient for aquafeeds
Black soldier fly meal should be recognized as a functional feed additive, supporting antioxidation, immunity and gut health in farmed fish.
Ingredient digestibility evaluation with enzyme extracts of Pacific white shrimp zoea, mysis and post-larvae
Results revealed variations in protein digestibility across developmental stages of L. vannamei, underscoring the importance of stage-specific dietary formulations.
Can grass in fish feeds lead to a greener salmon aquaculture sector?
The Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research seeks to turn grass into protein-rich fish feed in an effort to reduce dependency on soy.
New metric from Stirling aims to help fish farmers boost nutrition retention
A new "nFIFO" metric may help fish farmers boost nutrient retention, reduce waste and lead to more sustainable aquaculture practices.
Solid-state fermentation converts rice bran into a high-protein feed ingredient for black tiger shrimp
Fermented rice bran was studied as a replacement for soybean meal for black tiger shrimp (P. monodon) with a focus on growth performance.
New PCR method ensures authenticity of insect-based ingredients in aquafeeds
Researchers develop a PCR method to detect mealworm and black soldier fly DNA in aquafeeds, enhancing product authenticity and traceability.
How a plant-based diet impacts genetic improvement, feed efficiency in Pacific white shrimp
