the aquaculture podcast show Mar 16, 2026

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine how black soldier fly full-fat meal can replace marine protein in Atlantic salmon fry diets. We explore inclusion thresholds, chitin correction in protein analysis, pellet quality, growth performance, and fish-in-fish-out reduction. Results show a 5 to 10 percent sweet spot that supports performance and sustainability. Listen now on all major platforms!

Inspired by the 2023 article titled "Black soldier fly full-fat meal in Atlantic salmon nutrition–Part A: Effects on growth performance, feed utilization, selected nutriphysiological traits and production sustainability in fries" by Mikołajczak, Zuzanna, et al.
