Introducing the special issue ‘Application of insect ingredients in sustainable aquaculture’

Abstract

The use of insects in aquafeed is a topic of great interest. IPIFF forecasts indicate that by 2030 40% of insect meal production will be used in aquaculture (IPIFF, 2021). The Journal of Insects as Food and Feed published a call for papers for an open-access special issue to share a deeper understanding of beneficial aspects of the use of insects. Published papers touched on aspects of insect nutrient digestibility, analytical methodologies, fish performances and health, consumer acceptance and socio-economic aspects.
