Abstract


The aquaculture serves as a vital animal protein source, which constantly faces the problem of fish meal. The fish meal serves as a primary ingredient of the aquafeeds. Aquaculture because of their up-scaling growth laid a high demand on fish meal, which increased the cost of the ingredient and meanwhile it is an unsustainable practice. This created an urge for the need of an alternative ingredient for the fish meal. The insect meal has proven to be dually satisfactory and a sustainable alternative in aquafeeds. This article signifies the use of black soldier fly larvae meal on the fish nutrition.
