Black Soldier Fly () Larvae and Prepupae Defatted Meals in Diets for Zebrafish ().

The black soldier fly (BSF) is receiving increasing attention as a sustainable fishmeal alternative protein source for aquaculture. To date, no studies have explored the effects of fishmeal replacement with BSF V instar larvae or prepupae meals due to their peculiar nutritional properties on fish performances. This study investigated the effects of 100% replacement of fishmeal (control diet) with defatted BSF meals (V instar larvae and prepupae meals, treatments) on growth performance and welfare of zebrafish (), from larvae to adults, in a 60-day feeding trial.
