Implication

Feeding juvenile southern catfish with 50% black soldier fly larvae meal improves growth metrics and immune function, indicating a sustainable feed alternative.

Key Points

Growth rates improved significantly with 50% black soldier fly larvae meal replacement, enhancing specific growth metrics.
Analysis revealed shifts in gut microbiota with higher Clostridia and Escherichia abundance at increased larval meal levels.
This evaluation used an 8-week feeding trial with juvenile southern catfish, assessing multiple growth and health factors.
The findings suggest that replacing traditional fish meal with black soldier fly larvae meal can optimize aquaculture nutrition.
