Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens) Larvae as an Ecological, Immune Booster and Economical Feedstuff for Aquaculture

Abstract

Black soldier fly larva can renovate biological trashes into valuable nutrients, for instance, proteins, lipids, and chitin, which decrease ecological encumbrance happening due to organic wastes accumulation. Even though rapid demand for proteinaceous food is predictable, insects got less attention in the animal feed business primarily due to technical and monetary hurdles. Moreover, many times research highlighted the consumer and producer preferences for insects’ meal potential in livestock feeding. This review is anticipated to elucidate the prominence of black soldier fly larvae meal as a substitute to conventional feedstuffs including soybean and fishmeal and soybean oil ensuring productive, cost proficient, environmentally friendly, least land necessitating, least pathogenic risk, immunity-boosting, purely organic and everlasting source of non-conventional protein feedstuff for aquatic habitats.
