Summary: This study investigated the effects of replacing fish oil with black soldier fly oil in diets on the growth, health, and lipid metabolism of Onychostoma macrolepis. The results showed that replacing fish oil with 25-50% black soldier fly oil is feasible and can improve the antioxidant capacity and reduce fat deposits in the fish.

Summary: This study investigated the potential of resveratrol in ameliorating liver injury and improving lipid metabolism in fish fed with a high-fat diet. The results showed that resveratrol supplementation led to improvements in body weight, weight gain rate, and condition factor, while reducing the inflammatory response and lipid deposition. Resveratrol also increased antioxidant capacities and regulated lipid metabolism through gene expression modulation. Additionally, it decreased inflammation and improved liver function.

Summary: The present study found that Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) oil can act as an anti-inflammatory dietary ingredient, exerting protective effects against inflammatory-related conditions. It was observed that the oil can suppress the release of proinflammatory cytokines and exhibit anti-inflammatory activity in stimulated macrophages. Transcriptome analysis revealed that the oil can modulate immunometabolism by activating mTOR signaling and promoting fatty acid oxidation, showing a different mode of action compared to C12:0 treatment.

Summary: Cadmium, as one of the most prevalent environmental contaminants, poses a threat to ecosystems due to its high persistence and bioavailability. This study revealed that environmental exposure to Cadmium disrupts lipid metabolism in fish, especially the metabolism of triglycerides and cholesterol. These findings suggest that environmental factors could contribute to the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty-liver disease in aquaculture.

Summary: Insect meal is being considered as a sustainable alternative to fishmeal in fish diets. However, chitin, a component of insect meal, has been identified as a potential limitation for the inclusion of high levels of insect meal in aquafeeds. This study evaluated the effects of Hermetia illucens meal dietary inclusion on meagre liver and intestine oxidative status and found that chitin or insect lipid composition did not greatly affect meagre antioxidant status. Overall, Hermetia illucens meal can be included as up to 30% of the diet without compromising meagre antioxidant status.

Summary: The main purpose of this study is to investigate how substrate lipid content affects the growth kinetics of black soldier fly larvae. The results show that increasing fish oil content in the substrate leads to reduced growth rates, decreased weight of the prepupae, and increased mortality. Although the larvae can utilize high levels of substrate lipids, it may negatively impact their growth performance and have limited effects on the composition of their biomass.

Summary: The interactive effect of inclusion levels and preparation methods of myo-inositol on growth performance, hepatic antioxidant capacity, and lipid metabolism of Cyprinus carpio var. jian was evaluated. The results showed that the inclusion levels of myo-inositol significantly affected protein deposition rate, hepatic antioxidant enzyme activities, and gene expressions related to lipid metabolism. Supplementation of myo-inositol improved protein deposition and liver antioxidant ability and promoted lipid metabolism in Cyprinus carpio var. jian fed a high-fat diet.

Summary: Genistein exerts regulatory effects on glucose and lipid metabolism in common carp, showing decreased blood glucose and total cholesterol levels, as well as increased serum triglycerides, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels. High dose of genistein increases lipid synthesis-related genes, while low and medium doses enhance gluconeogenesis-related genes expression. There is a certain similarity between genistein and estrogen in vitro, indicating a potential estrogen-like role of genistein in regulating glucose and lipid metabolism in fish.

Summary: The study found that black soldier fly larvae meal (BSF) had an impact on the growth performance and body composition of Pacific white shrimp. Specifically, the BSF20 diet promoted lipid synthesis and lipolysis, while the BSF30 diet weakened beta-oxidation and glycolysis, affecting unsaturated fatty acids synthesis.

Summary: Increased dietary n-6 FA leads to reduced n-3 in tissue polar lipids in Atlantic salmon, with EPA significantly reduced while DHA remains stable. Maintaining a stable n-3 content in polar lipids can be achieved by simultaneously increasing dietary n-3 content and maintaining the same n-6:n-3 FA ratio. The study suggests that a better use of dietary EPA is achieved by keeping the dietary n-6:n-3 FA ratio low.

Summary: The study illustrates that excessive lipid accumulation in farmed fish liver may be a protective response to exogenous fatty acids. Inhibition of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in grass carp hepatocytes shows that DGAT1 is responsible for lipid droplet formation while DGAT2 promotes lipid droplet fusion. This indicates a differential role of DGAT1 and DGAT2 in lipid metabolism and liver health in farmed fish.

Summary: The chapter discusses the impact of insects in aquafeeds, suggesting a maximum threshold of 25-30% for insect inclusion in aquafeeds for uncompromised performance. It also identifies factors such as reduction in protein digestibility, imbalanced amino acid profile, and increasing levels of saturated fatty acids as major limitations for higher inclusion of insects in aquafeeds.

Summary: This study investigated the transfer of fatty acids from broodstock diets to eggs and the time needed for the eggs to equilibrate to the diet in Southern flounder. The findings indicate that different diet treatments significantly affect the fatty acid composition of eggs, and it takes 8-16 weeks for the eggs to adapt to changes in the adult diet. These results are important for improving broodstock diets and feeding protocols in stock-enhancement programs.
