Abstract

In routinely used in aquaculture, insect meals have been proven in many studies to be able to replace fish and soya bean meals partially or totally. However, the amino acid and fatty acid composition, as well as the digestibility of various insect diets is insufficient. Hence, research is needed to evaluate the protein, amino acid, lipid, and fatty acid content of insect meal for comprehensive fish nutrition. In general, insect meal contains more essential amino acids than other meal types, with amounts that are like fishmeals, including methionine, which can be a good supply of the essential nutrient. Insects also rich in lipids and fatty acids, and some antimicrobial components like chitin, which is able to inhibit against pathogenic microorganisms, and further enhance animal health. This chapter discusses the beneficial functions of insect based aquafeed for aquaculture
