Today, fish from aquacultures already accounts for about half of the world‘s fish consumption. The aquafeed used there contains a high proportion of fish meal and fish oil – a scarce resource whose production also has a negative impact on the environment. Insect meal, which has been approved as feed for aquacultures in the EU since mid- 2017 (EU Regulation 2017/893), is regarded as an alternative, more sustainable source of protein. Since then its demand has increased continuously.
