摘要The use of insect meal in aquafeed formulations has recently gained attention.Detailed knowledge about the inclusion levels for pikeperch(Sander lucioperca),a promising candidate for intensive aquaculture in Europe remains,however,fragmented.In the present study,4 isoproteic(45％dry matter)and iso-energetic(21 MJ/kg)diets were formulated,including a control diet(HO)containing 30％fishmeal(FM)on an as-fed basis and the other 3 diets in which FM protein was replaced by defatted black soldier fly(Hemetia illucens)meal(HIM)at 25％,50％,and 100％(diet abbreviation H9,H18 and H36,corresponding to an inclusion level of 9％,18％and 36％,respectively).The feeding trial was performed in triplicate groups of 50 juvenile pikeperch(mean weight,68.7 g)fed with experimental diets for 84 d during which the growth performance,nutrient digestibility,fillet quality and economic and environmental sustain-ability of rearing pikeperch were evaluated.Our findings indicated that pikeperch in HO,H9,and H18 groups displayed better results regarding growth performance indices,except for survival rate where no significant difference among groups was recorded(P=0.642).A significantly lower organ-somatic index,including hepatosomatic,viscerosomatic and perivisceral fat index,was found in fish in H18 groups than other groups(P＜0.05).Inclusion of HIM affected the digestibility of the nutrients and resulted in an almost linear reduction in the apparent digestibility coefficient of dry matter and protein.Concerning the fillet quality,dietary HIM negatively affected the protein and ash contents of the fish fillets,while the crude fat remained unchanged.Dietary HIM did not significantly modify total saturated,mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the fillets of fed pikeperch(P＞0.05)but did reduce total n-3 fatty acids(P=0.001)and increased total n-6(P＜0.001).Increasing inclusion levels of HIM reduced the environmental impacts associated with fish in-to-fish out ratio but entailed heavy burdens on energy use and eutrophication.Low and moderate inclusion levels of HIM did not negatively affect land use and water use compared to an HIM-free diet(P＞0.05).The addition of HIM at a level as low as 9％elicited a similar carbon footprint to that of the control diet.The economic conversion ratio and economic profit index were negatively affected at increased insect meal inclusion levels.This study has shown that the incorporation of HIM in feed formulations for pikeperch is feasible at inclusion levels of 18％without adverse effects on growth performance parameters.The feasibility also highlighted the environmental benefits associated with land use and marine resources required to produce farmed fish.
