Pre-Treatment of Fish By-Products to Optimize Feeding of L. Larvae.

Fish discards are organic waste with high and good-quality protein levels, as well as a fatty acid profile rich in -3 LCPUFAs, mainly eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. These discards can be used as food for (Linnaeus, 1758) larvae, thus increasing the nutritional value of this insect. This study focused on increasing larval acceptance of fish through different pre-treatments of the diets provided, as well as increasing the accumulation of EPA and DHA in fish-fed larvae.
