Abstract. The article addresses the use of compound feeds containing an additive based on the larvae of the black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) for the cultivation of rainbow trout in recirculating aquaculture systems. It presents data on the size and weight characteristics of fish obtained during the test administration of feeds containing varying concentrations of the insect-based additive. The findings demonstrate that the use of feed with insect larval biomass positively influences growth performance and reduces feed conversion from 1.08 to 0.87.
Keywords: black soldier fly, rainbow trout, fish food, aquaculture
