Description

NTU has contacted TFI for assistance in running a feeding trial with barramundi using black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) as sustainable replacement for fish meal (FM) in feed. The trial will be carried out in the JCUS Aquaculture Teaching and Research Lab over a 3 month period. The project will evaluate the effects of dietary BSFL as a FM replacement on the growth performance, histological effects on fish gut and immune responses of barramundi. Results will be published in peer reviewed journal.
