Published: April 30, 2022

Further advancing black soldier fly (BSF) farming for waste valorisation and more sustainable global protein supplies critically depends on targeted exploitation of genotype-phenotype associations in this insect, comparable to conventional livestock. This study used a fully crossed factorial design rearing larvae four genetically distinct BSF strains (FST: 0.11–0.35) three nutritionally different diets (poultry feed, food waste, poultry manure) investigate genotype-by-environment interactions. Phenotypic responses included larval growth dynamics over time, weight at harvest, mortality, biomass production with respective contents ash, fat, protein, including amino acid profiles, as well bioconversion nitrogen efficiency, reduction dry matter relevant fibre fractions, loss (emissions). Virtually all performance body composition traits were substantially influenced by diet but also characterised ample genetic variation and, most importantly, pronounced interaction effects between the two. Across evaluated phenotypes, variable diet-dependent rankings lack generally superior indicate involvement trade-offs traits, their relationships may even change signs. Conflicting resource allocation light overall fitness suggests anticipated breeding programs will require complex differential selection strategies account pinpointed trait maximisation versus multi-purpose resilience.

ABSTRACT The rising demand for fish and crustacean products has placed significant pressure on traditional aquaculture practices, which are increasingly unsustainable. Utilizing fruit waste as a feed ingredient in biofloc systems presents promising solution enhancing the sustainability cost‐efficiency of farming. Studies have demonstrated that incorporation into aquafeed improves growth performance, utilization, health outcomes aquatic animals. This practice also addresses management issues reduces dependency conventional ingredients, becoming more expensive. However, factors such availability scalability waste, remain important considerations. Research shown fed diets supplemented with exhibit superior growth, survival rates, compared to those diets. highest weight gain specific rates were observed fishes, normal liver intestinal histopathology.

This study assessed the performance of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) fed different tomato plant residues (fruit, leaves, and stems) at doses ranging from 100 to 350 mg/larva/day over ten days. Most resulted in 100% survival, except for leaf residue highest dose (300 mg/larva/day), which had an 88% survival rate. Growth varied by substrate, with increase observed larvae-fed fruit, followed stems leaves. However, no exceeded control diet regarding biomass accumulation, although fruit tomatoes produced wet (13.71 g). Larvae-fed also showed best waste reduction index (WRI) 7.56, substrate (SR) 75%, a feed conversion rate (FCR) 3.29.
