Assessing amino acid solubility of black soldier fly larvae meal in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) in vivo and in vitro
Radhakrishnan, Gopika; Silva, Marta Sofia; Lock, Erik Jan Robert; Belghit, Ikram; Philip, Antony Jesu Prabhu (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In vitro and in vivo methods were used to evaluate amino acids solubility of black soldier fly (BSF) larvae meal and two experimental diets (reference and test diets) for Atlantic salmon. The current study used in vitro ... -
Black soldier fly larvae meal can replace fish meal in diets of sea-water phase Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Belghit, Ikram; Liland, Nina Sylvia; Gjesdal, Petter; Biancarosa, Irene; Menchetti, Elisa; Li, Yanxian; Waagbø, Rune; Krogdahl, Åshild; Lock, Erik-Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-12-12)A feeding trial was conducted to test the growth potential, nutritional utilization, liver health and fillet sensory parameters of sea-water Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) fed diets with increasing substitution of fish ... -
Chemical characterization of 21 species of marine macroalgae common in Norwegian waters: benefits of and limitations to their potential use in food and feed
Biancarosa, Irene; Belghit, Ikram; Bruckner, Christian Guido; Liland, Nina Sylvia; Waagbø, Rune; Amlund, Heidi; Heesch, Svenja; Lock, Erik-Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-18)BACKGROUND: In the past few years, much effort has been invested into developing a new blue economy based on harvesting, cultivating and processing marine macroalgae in Norway. Macroalgae have high potential for a wide ... -
The chemical composition of two seaweed flies (Coelopa frigida and Coelopa pilipes) reared in the laboratory
Biancarosa, Irene; Liland, Nina Sylvia; Day, Nicola; Belghit, Ikram; Amlund, Heidi; Lock, Erik-Jan; Gilburn, Andre S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-29)Two species of seaweed flies, Coelopa frigida and Coelopa pilipes, were reared in the laboratory and their larvae were sampled for composition of amino acids, fatty acids and elements. The larvae were grown on two different ... -
Evaluation of black soldier fly larvae meal as a functional feed ingredient in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) under farm-like conditions
Radhakrishnan, Gopika; Liland, Nina Sylvia; Koch, Marianne Wethe; Lock, Erik Jan Robert; Philip, Antony Jesu Prabhu; Belghit, Ikram (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) were fed diets containing black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) meal at two inclusion levels for 13 months in open sea-cages. BSFL meal replaced plant-based ingredients and dietary insect meal ... -
In vitro assessment of protein digestibility and mineral solubility of black soldier fly larvae meals for monogastric animals
Silva, Marta Sofia; Matos, Rita; Araujo, Pedro; Lock, Erik Jan Robert; Radhakrishnan, Gopika; Prabhu, P. Antony Jesu; Belghit, Ikram (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Animal farming is a fast-growing sector which demands a large supply of feed materials and the search for novel feed ingredients with a smaller impact on the global environment has been intensified. However, before the ... -
A meta-analysis on the nutritional value of insects in aquafeeds
Liland, Nina Sylvia; Araujo, Pedro; Xu, X.X.; Lock, Erik Jan Robert; Radhakrishnan, Gowtham; Prabhu, P. Antony Jesu; Belghit, Ikram (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A major challenge for development of sustainable aquafeeds is its dependence on fish meal and fish oil. Similarly, it is unwanted to include more plant ingredients which adds more pressure on resources like arable land, ... -
Potential of insect-based diets for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
Belghit, Ikram; Liland, Nina Sylvia; Waagbø, Rune; Biancarosa, Irene; Pelusio, Nicole; Li, Yanxian; Krogdahl, Åshild; Lock, Erik-Jan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04)In the present study, we aimed to assess the effect of dietary insect meal (IM) and insect oil (IO) on growth performance, body composition and nutrient digestibility of freshwater reared Atlantic salmon. The IM and IO ... -
Replacing fish meal with insect meal in the diet of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) does not impact the amount of contaminants in the feed and it lowers accumulation of arsenic in the fillet
Biancarosa, Irene; Sele, Veronika; Belghit, Ikram; Ørnsrud, Robin; Lock, Erik-Jan; Amlund, Heidi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Insects are promising sources of protein and lipid in feeds for farmed animals. In the European Union, the use of insect meal (IM) and insect oil is permitted in fish feed. However, the European Food Safety Authority has ...
