Insect larvae meal as a feed ingredient for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) : effects on intestinal function, health, and microbiota
Being part of fish’s natural diets, insects have become a realistic, sustainable feed ingredient for aquaculture. While insects’ nutritional values have been extensively studied in numerous fish species, their impact on the fish health remains to be fully explored. The intestine is the main organ di...
