Abstract:
The main animal protein ingredient in fish diets is most often fishmeal
because of its nutritional quality. However, the limited availability
and increasingly cost of fishmeal has lead to investigations of either
lowering or replacing the fishmeal content with more economic protein
sources of animal and/or plant origin. The research for appropriate and
cheap cost alternative sources of protein to use in commercial fish diets
will be the most important factor in intensive fish culture development.
Insect meals are healthy and nutritious alternatives to fish meal due
to their rich nutritional values, particularly protein, fat and minerals.
Housefly maggots (Musca domestica) meal is also rich in B complex
vitamins, trace elements and phosphorus. From the results of previous
studies, Housefly maggots meal can be used successfully to replace
the fish meal portion partially or completely in the fish diets. Also,
the results observed that not physiological stressful was introduced in
the fish by feeding Housefly maggots meal diets. This indicates that
Housefly maggots meal were well utilized by the fish thus resulting in
good growth of fish. In other study, observed a best growth performance
with fish feeding on diets containing maggot’s meal compared with fish
feeding on fishmeal diet. This indicates the high nutritional quality and
fish acceptance of maggot’s meal.
