Black Soldier Fly Full-Fat Larvae Meal Is More Profitable Than Fish Meal and Fish Oil in Siberian Sturgeon Farming: The Effects on Aquaculture Sustainability, Economy and Fish GIT Development

This study provides data on the environmental sustainability, economic profitability, and gastrointestinal tract development of Siberian sturgeon diets containing black soldier fly full-fat larvae meal (BSFL) for a fish meal (FM) and fish oil (FO) replacement. BSFL was used at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% of the diet, replacing by up to 61.3% of FM and 95.4% of FO. BSFL positively affected the feed efficiency ratio, and lowered FM and FO usage per kg of fish gain. All the BSFL diets showed a sustainable fish-in fish-out (FIFO) ratio, which was lowered by up to 75% in comparison to the control. Economic assessment per kg of fish gain showed that the most lucrative variants were variants with 10% and 15% BSFL, it finds a mode of action in improvements of the gastrointestinal tract development, including increased pyloric caeca and proximal intestine shares and enhanced villus height and area. Thus, in Siberian sturgeon, BSFL may be used not only as an FM and FO replacer but also as a functional material due to its feed utilization and beneficial health effects, which are reflected in its high sustainability and favourable economics.

This study provides data on the use of black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) full-fat meal (BSFL) in Siberian sturgeon (Acipenser baerii) nutrition, examining pellet physical properties, growth performance, feed acceptance and utilization, apparent protein, and fat digestibility. The study consisted of: feed quality assessment; a growth performance; feed acceptance; digestibility trials. The effect of the use of BSFL as a replacement for fish meal (FM) and fish oil (FO) was investigated. The applied BSFL shares were 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30% of the diet, replacing up to 61.3% of FM and allowing us to reduce FO use by up to 95.4% in the case of 30% incorporation. The applied substitution affected feed quality, increasing the expansion rate, and decreasing feed density, sinking speed and water stability. However, body weight gain, specific growth rate, feed, and protein conversion ratios, were improved in groups fed BSFL. Moreover, feed acceptance was increased with treatments containing 10 to 30% BSFL. No effects on nutrients digestibility were observed. The results show that the use of BSFL as an FM and FO replacement may have positive effects on sturgeon growth performance, and BSFL can be developed as a promising alternative feed material.

ABSTRACT EFFECT OF SUBSTITUTION OF FISH MEAL WITH MAGGOT (Hermetia illucens) IN THE DIETS ON BROILER CHICKEN PERFORMANCE. Maggots (maggot meal) have been widely studied as a good alternative to fish meal in broiler chicken and pigs. The present study was designed to elaborate the effect of substituting fish meal with maggot (Hermetia illucens) meal in the diets on feed efficiency of broiler chicken. Eighty day old chicks (DOC) broiler chicks were placed in battery cages and were assigned to each dietary treatment (5 treatments) which was replicated four times in a completely randomized design (CRD) arrangement anddatawere all submitted to the ANOVA procedure. Differences were considered significant at P< 0.05. Diets were formulated to meet or exceed starter and finisher broiler requirements as recommended by NRC (1994). Treatment diets were formulated as follow: R0 = 100.0% fish meal (15.0% in the diet) + 0% maggot meal (0% in the diet); R1 = 75% fish meal (11.25% in the diet) + 25.0% maggot meal (3.75% in the diet); R2 = 50.0% fish meal (7.5% in the diet) + 50.0% maggot meal (7.5% in the diet); R3 = 25.0% fish meal (3.75% in the diet) + 75.0% maggot meal (11.25% in the diet); and R4 = 0% fish meal (0% in the diet) +100.0% maggot meal (15.0% in the diet). Parameters measured were: feed consumption, daily gain, and feed efficiency ratio. Research results showed that feed consumption, daily gain, and feed efficiency ratio of starter and finisher broiler chicks in the present study were significantly decreased as maggot meal substituted fish meal at the level of 100% or 15.0% in the diet (R4). It can be concluded that maggot (Hermetia illucens) mealcould replace fish meal up to 75.0% or 11,25% in the diet without any negative effects on feed efficiency ratio of broiler chicken.

In order to study whether lipid metabolism may be affected by maximum replacement of dietary fish oil and fish meal with vegetable oils (VO) and plant proteins (PP), Atlantic salmon (Salmo salarL.) smolts were fed a control diet containing fish oil and fish meal or one of three plant-based diets through the seawater production phase for 12 months. Diets were formulated to meet all known nutrient requirements. The whole-body lipid storage pattern was measured after 12 months, as well as post-absorptive plasma, VLDL and liver TAG. To further understand the effects on lipid metabolism, expression of genes encoding for proteins involved in VLDL assembly (apoB100), fatty acid uptake (FATP1, cd36, LPL and FABP3, FABP10 and FABP11) were measured in liver and visceral adipose tissue. Maximum dietary VO and PP increased visceral lipid stores, liver TAG, and plasma VLDL and TAG concentrations. Increased plasma TAG correlated with an increased expression of apoB100, indicating increased VLDL assembly in the liver of fish fed the high-plant protein- and VO-based diet. Atlantic salmon fed intermediate replacement levels of VO or PP did not have increased body fat or visceral mass. Overall, the present results demonstrate an interaction between dietary lipids and protein on lipid metabolism, increasing overall adiposity and TAG in the body when fish meal and fish oil are replaced concomitantly at maximised levels of VO and PP.
