Enrichment in omega3 of Hermetia illucens (L. 1758) prepupae from oilseed co products

Mass
production of insect is an alternative protein and fat source that can be incorporate in fish feed Hermetia illucens (L 1758 is a promising insect
for feed production as it is a polyphagous species with a fast larvae growth rate and a short life cycle Nevertheless, the fatty acids composition of
prepupae (last instar larvae) is function of their diet and is unfortunately characterized by a high saturated fatty acids and low polyunsaturated fatty
acids levels The current fatty acid profile of prepupae meal will limit the use of this ingredient in farmed fish diet The purpose of this experiment is to
manipulate the fatty acid profile of insects by following the current legislative framework allowing only the use of plant in terms of byproducts
