Digestive enzyme activity and nutrient digestibility in meagre (Argyrosomus regius) fed increasing levels of black soldier fly meal (Hermetia illucens)

Ines Guerreiro et al.

Summary: Partially replacing fishmeal (FM) with black soldier fly larvae meal (HM) in meagre diet resulted in decreased nutrient digestibility and digestive enzyme activity, but replacement of up to 17% FM with HM did not have major adverse effects on diet digestibility and digestive enzyme activity.

Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal in diets of European seabass: Effects on antioxidative capacity, non-specific immunity, transcriptomic responses, and resistance to the challenge with Vibrio alginolyticus

Hany M. R. Abdel-Latif et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that partial replacement of dietary fish meal protein with up to 50% BSFLM can enhance the antioxidative status and immune responses of European seabass without negative effects on fish health.

Intestinal microbial communities of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) may be improved by feeding a Hermetia illucens meal/low-fishmeal diet

Simona Rimoldi et al.

Summary: This study assessed the effects of dietary insect meal from Hermetia illucens larvae on the gut microbial community of rainbow trout. The inclusion of insect meal in the diet led to an increase in beneficial bacteria and a reduction of pathogenic bacteria, shaping the metabolic activity of the trout gut microbiota. Insect meal from H. illucens is a promising protein source for trout nutrition, with potential to improve fish health by modulating the gut microbial community.

Gut microbiota dynamics in carnivorous European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) fed plant-based diets

Claudia R. Serra et al.

Summary: A healthy gastrointestinal microbiota is vital for host fitness and is strongly affected by host diet. Feeding carnivorous fish plant-based diets high in non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) can lead to changes in gut microbiota composition, favoring bacterial families with carbohydrate active enzymes. Overall, the gut communities of European seabass respond to plant-based diets by adjusting to the presence of transient microorganisms with carbohydrolytic potential while maintaining a balanced core microbiota.

Beyond the protein concept: health aspects of using edible insects on animals

L. Gasco et al.

Summary: Insects are gaining attention as potential substitutes in animal feed due to high protein levels and beneficial bioactive compounds, which have been shown to enhance animal health and disease resistance. Further research is needed to explore the potential immunostimulating properties of insects and their similarities to pathogens.

Isolation and Characterization of Fish-Gut Bacillus spp. as Source of Natural Antimicrobial Compounds to Fight Aquaculture Bacterial Diseases

Rafaela A. Santos et al.

Summary: Utilizing the potential of fish-gut microbial community, 172 sporeforming strains producing natural antimicrobial compounds were isolated, with 52% of them effectively antagonizing important fish pathogens. Through in vitro experiments, three promising candidates were identified as potential probiotics or sources of bioactive molecules for aquaculture against bacterial diseases.
