Research progress on the application of black soldier fly in fish farming
s:Aquaculture,a key component of the global food supply chain,provides a rich source of protein.However,this sector faces pressing challenges,with water pollution and a warming climate,traditional sources of feed protein,such as fishmeal and soya,are no longer sufficient for production and there is an urgent need to find sustainable sources of feed protein.Black soldier fly(Hermetia illucens L.)has attracted much attention in recent years as an insect protein resource.Black soldier fly larvae(BSFL)is widely distributed around the world and can efficiently convert waste into valuable feed protein while reducing environmental pollution.In this paper,we discussed the application of black soldier fly as a protein substitute in aquaculture,emphasizing its influence on the growth performance,economic benefits,meat quality,and immune function of cultured aquatic species.Additionally,we investigate the impact of black soldier fly at young age stages on the quality of aquatic products.Through these two focal points,we systematically summarize the primary challenges and issues that may arise when utilizing BSFL as a feed substitute in the aquaculture industry.
