The objective of the present study was to investigate the importance of the antioxidant enzymes; glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), glutathione reductase (GR), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GP) and catalase (CAT) in defense against toxic reactive oxygen species (ROS). For this purpose, comparative studies were performed on the antioxidant enzyme activities in red cells of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) between flow-through and recirculated breeding systems G6PD, GR and SOD activities were found significantly lower in reuse system than flow-through system. But, GP and CAT activities were increased significantly in the erythrocyte of rainbow trout held in reuse water tanks.

The demand of optimal protein for human consumption is growing. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has highlighted aquaculture as one of the most promising alternatives for this protein supply gap due to the high efficiency of fish growth. However, aquaculture has been facing its own sustainability problem, because its high demand for protein has been traditionally satisfied with the use of fishmeal (FM) as the main source. Some of the most promising and sustainable protein substitutes for FM come from insects. The present manuscript provides insight into an experiment carried out on rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with a 50% replacement of FM with different larvae insect meals: Hermetia illucens (HI), and Tenebrio molitor (TM). TM showed better results for growth, protein utilization and more active digestive function, supported by intestinal histological changes. Liver histology and intermediary metabolism did not show relevant changes between insect meals, while other parameters such as antioxidant enzyme activities and tissue damage indicators showed the potential of insect meals as functional ingredients.
