Key Points

To investigate the effect of a diet containing defatted black soldier fly larvae meal on the growth of olive flounder.
Feeding trial conducted for 14 months using two diet groups: control (FM) and 10% black soldier fly larvae meal (BSF10).
Fish were juvenile olive flounders with an initial weight of 3.1 g.
Growth measurements included weight and length comparison between groups.
The BSF10 group showed significantly greater weight and length compared to the FM group.
No significant decline in feed efficiency was observed in the BSF10 group.
Long-term substitution of fishmeal with 10% black soldier fly larvae meal did not negatively impact flounder growth.

Shows improved growth in olive flounder with defatted black soldier fly larvae diet, suggesting an alternative feed source.
