Insect meal from aflatoxin B1-contaminated corn showed no significant negative effects on common carp fries.
Even with high aflatoxin B1 levels, insect mortality of yellow mealworms was low over five weeks.
Frass from highly contaminated mealworms exhibited significant toxicity, causing 91.67% mortality in zebrafish embryos.
Extraction of frass toxicity confirmed that contamination levels in feed can pose environmental concerns.
