Abstract
As the aquaculture industry shifts from fishmeal and increasingly towards terrestrial-based protein sources for feed, there are environmental and social constraints to consider. Thus, it is important to find novel protein sources that can replace not only fishmeal but also food-grade plant-derived proteins. This thesis uses a multi-faceted approach to investigating the viability of black soldier fly(BSF) derived protein sources as an alternative, more sustainable, ingredient in aquaculture diets. Its outcomes provide baseline information on the levels of BSF-derived products that can be included in juvenile barramundi and marron aquaculture diets whilst maintaining animals’ physiological well-being and growth performance.
