Description
Saiprasad Bhusare and eight colleagues feed black soldier fly larvae meal to a farmed catfish, Clarias magur, and watch breeding outcomes. Fishmeal is costly and strained, so insect meal is a tempting swap. The trial ran 120 days on two stocks: a farm-raised line and a growth-selected line.
Each stock ate either a fishmeal diet or one with twenty percent insect meal and no fishmeal. The selected stock grew faster and used feed better. The farm stock, though, bred better: higher fertility measures, hatching, and larval survival. Hormones and gene activity split along the same lines. The insect meal itself barely changed breeding traits in either stock.
