Journal ArticleDOI
Fly Prepupae as a Feedstuff for Rainbow Trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss
Sophie St-Hilaire,Craig Sheppard,Jeffery K. Tomberlin,Stephen Irving,Larry Newton,Mark A. McGuire,Erin E. Mosley,Ronald W. Hardy,Wendy M. Sealey +8 more
TL;DR: Data suggest that a rainbow trout diet where black soldier fly prepupae or housefly pupae constitute 15% of the total protein has no adverse effect on the feed conversion ratio of fish over a 9-wk feeding period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial volatile emissions as insect semiochemicals.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that insect olfactory responses to emissions from microorganisms inhabiting their sensory environment are much more common than currently recognized, and that these signals represent evolutionarily reliable infochemicals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rearing Methods for the Black Soldier Fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)
TL;DR: Maintainance of a black soldier fly laboratory colony will allow for development of manure management systems in fully enclosed animal housing and in colder regions and techniques for egg collection and larval rearing are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fish offal recycling by the black soldier fly produces a foodstuff high in omega-3 fatty acids
Sophie St-Hilaire,Katie Cranfill,Mark A. McGuire,Erin E. Mosley,Jeffery K. Tomberlin,Larry Newton,Wendy M. Sealey,Craig Sheppard,Stephen Irving +8 more
TL;DR: Omega-3 fatty-acid-enhanced prepupae in the black soldier fly may be a suitable fish meal and fish oil replacement for carnivorous fish and other animal diets and may provide a method of reducing and recycling fish offal from processing plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ability of Black Soldier Fly (Diptera: Stratiomyidae) Larvae to Recycle Food Waste
TL;DR: The black soldier fly has the ability to consume and reduce organic waste and be utilized as valuable animal feed and exploration of the potential use of black soldier flies as an agent for waste management on a large-scale system should continue.
