| description | The demand for sustainable and efficient protein sources in aquaculture has led to an increasing interest in exploring alternative feeds for fish. In recent years, insects have emerged as a promising option due to their nutritional value, economic viability, and potential to alleviate the environmental impact of traditional fish meals. This review critically examines the existing literature on the effect of insect feed on fish growth. Through a comprehensive analysis of relevant studies, we evaluate the performance of fish fed with insect-based diets compared to those fed with conventional feeds. The review encompasses various insect species, feed formulations, and fish species, providing insights into the factors influencing growth outcomes. Our findings highlight the potential benefits and challenges of incorporating insect-based feeds in fish farming practices, with implications for sustainable aquaculture and food security. By synthesizing current knowledge, this review aims to guide future research and decision-making processes for optimizing fish nutrition and production while promoting ecological sustainability. |
