The Aquaculture Podcast Show - Black Soldier Fly Larvae for Nile Tilapia Production | Ep. 78

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine black soldier fly larvae as a sustainable protein source for Nile tilapia production. We explore lipid and mineral challenges, precision feed formulation, and how pond ecology can support nutritional performance. By matching alternative ingredients to production environments, commercial aquaculture could reduce dependence on marine fishmeal while maintaining predictable outcomes. Listen now on all major platforms!
