TLDR
In this article, the authors showed negative relation between feeding rate and proportion of substrat consumption while negative relation recorded between feed rate with efficiency of feed conversion, highest propotion of feed used for metabolism recorded at lowest feeding rate, and best waste reduction index (2.79 ± 0.15) was recorded on feeding rate of 100 mg/larvae/day.Abstract:
In Indonesia, growing cassava based food production significant amount of cassava peel wastes which has huge potential to cause significant environmental and health problems. Studies had showed the ability of Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larva (Hermetia illucens) to live in various type organic wastes made them as one of potential biological agents for bioconversion of household, industrial, and agricultural organic wastes. wastes. In order to apply this insect as bioconverter of cassave peel wastes, some growth variabels of BSF fed on cassave peel wastes were measured. In this study, two hundreds 6-day-old larvae were fed on cassava peel with a variation of 12.5, 25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/larva/day, replicated three times, until pupation. Results showed negative relation betweenfeeding rate and proportion of substrat consumption while negative relation recorded between feeding rate with efficiency of feed conversion. Highest propotion of feed used for metabolism recorded at lowest feeding rate. Best waste reduction index (2.79 ± 0.15), development time to pupation, and feeding duration recorded on feeding rate of 100 mg/larvae/day. Based on this study, it could be concluded best feeding rate for growth of BSF larvae is 100 mg/larvae/day.read more

TL;DR: It is suggested that, although compensatory growth can bring quick benefits, it is also associated with a surprising variety of costs that are often not evident until much later in adult life.

The evolution of growth trajectories: what limits growth rate?
TL;DR: According to life‐history theory, growth rates are subject to strong directional selection due to reproductive and survival advantages associated with large adult body size, yet growth is commonly observed to occur at rates lower than the maximum that is physiologically possible and intrinsic growth rates often vary among populations.
