Project description:The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of graded levels of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) (Hermetia illucens) meal and BSFL paste in extruded diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). A total of 1260 Atlantic salmon with 34 g of mean initial weight were randomly distributed into 21 fiberglass tanks and fed (n=3) with seven extruded isolipidic and isonitrogenous diets for seven weeks. The experimental diets consisted of a positive control diet based on fishmeal, soy protein concentrate, corn gluten, faba bean and fish oil (Control_1); three diets with increased levels of full lipid BSFL meal, substituting 6.25% (6.25_IM), 12.5% (12.5_IM) and 25% (25_IM) of the protein content of Control_1; two diets with increased levels of full lipid BSFL paste, substituting 3.7% (3.7_IP) and 6.7% (6.7_IP); and of protein from Control_1 and a negative a control with 0.84 % of formic acid (Control_2). We investigate the effect of diets on growth performance, mmune response and health.
