| Abstract: | Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector to ensure the food security to the growing population of human globally. Availability of food becomes one of the limiting factors in aquaculture practices. Aquatic species, especially fish can be cultured anywhere provided a good quality of water. However, absence of soil substratum can limit the production of natural food in the water body. To fulfill this gap, organisms are supplemented with artificial feed. This feed can be formulated using plant (Soyabean, wheat, corn, cottonseed, peas, etc.) or animal-based materials (fish meal, fish oil, poultry and livestock by-products). Both the source materials come with certain ecological, economical and physiological restraints. To overcome these, insect- based meal is being considered as an option. Insects can be grown using organic waste matters as substratum. A large quantity of biomass can be produced while decomposing the waste. So, in the light of environment, they become an excellent alternative. Nutritionally they are laden with and can be fortified with nutrients essential for optimum growth and survival of aquatic species. However, not all the insects can be used for this purpose. Black soldier fly, Hermetia illucens, is one of the widely used insects in this regard. These saprophagous fly are not a carrier for any disease and can be grown using organic waste materials as substrate. Their dried larvae can be used as nutrient- rich feed. Now-a-days, they are commercially available worldwide as protein and calcium rich food supplement for fish and other carnivorous pet organisms. Extensive scientific research and regulatory guidelines and policies are necessary to optimize the insect farming and processing of insect meal to be used as supplementary feed to the aquaculture species. |
