The success of the aquafeed industry mainly depends on the availability of raw ingredients with high nutritional value, such as fishmeal (FM). However, the increased demand for FM elevates its prices and leads to high feed costs. Thus, there is an urgent need to find suitable alternatives for FM in fish diets to achieve sustainability in aquaculture. Currently, attention is being paid to the possibility of using insect meals as FM substitutes in aquafeed because of their relatively high nutritional quality. TM is one of those insects that can be regarded as a unique candidate because of its relatively high nutritional value. TM are rich sources of essential amino acids (methionine), lipids, and fatty acids, which vary based on the developmental stage of the worms. Although TM have an abundant amount of chitin as a fiber source and other anti-nutritional factors, numerous studies have investigated the efficacy of partial or complete substitution of FM by in fish diets. In this context, we reviewed the current research findings on the achievable inclusion levels of versus FM substitution in the diets of several finfish and shellfish species. We discussed the potential use of as an FM substitute in fish diets and evaluated its effects on growth, biometric indices, and body composition. Besides, the hematological parameters, immunological responses, antioxidative efficacy, intestinal health status, and sensory criteria of fish fed -based diets were also assessed.
水产饲料行业的成功主要取决于高营养价值原料的可得性，如鱼粉（FM）。然而，对鱼粉需求的增加抬高了其价格，导致饲料成本高昂。因此，迫切需要在鱼类饲料中找到合适的鱼粉替代品，以实现水产养殖的可持续性。目前，由于昆虫蛋白的营养质量相对较高，人们正在关注其作为水产饲料中鱼粉替代品的可能性。黄粉虫（TM）就是其中一种昆虫，因其相对较高的营养价值而可被视为独特的候选者。黄粉虫富含必需氨基酸（蛋氨酸）、脂质和脂肪酸，其含量会因虫体发育阶段而异。尽管黄粉虫含有大量几丁质作为纤维来源和其他抗营养因子，但众多研究已探讨了在鱼类饲料中部分或完全用黄粉虫替代鱼粉的效果。在此背景下，我们综述了目前关于几种硬骨鱼类和贝类饲料中黄粉虫与鱼粉替代的可实现添加水平的研究结果。我们讨论了黄粉虫作为鱼类饲料中鱼粉替代品的潜在用途，并评估了其对生长、生物计量指标和身体组成的影响。此外，还评估了以黄粉虫为基础的饲料喂养的鱼类的血液学参数、免疫反应、抗氧化功效、肠道健康状况和感官标准。
