BENEFITS OF FEEDING INSECT PROTEINS
NATURALLY HIGH PROTEIN SUSTAINABLE CHOICE

Insects are the most diverse group of animals in the world, with the total number of insect species numbering more than one million. Insects play an important part of fish diets, particularly for carnivorous and omnivorous species.

Omnivorous and carnivorous fish require more protein in their diets than required by herbivorous or detritivorous species. The protein requirements for carnivorous fish range between 55% and 45% crude protein (CP), and the requirements for omnivorous fish are between 45% and 35%.

Some fish species in the wild opportunistically feed on insects whenfood is abundant. Insects provide required essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and certain minerals. Palatability of insects is also an important factor, as part of an aquarium fishes diet, insects and insect proteins have the ‘natural attractant’ component.

Insect meals such as Black Soldier Fly, Mosquito Larvae as well as Mealworm meals are providing health benefits that translate into improved animal health, growth, performance and boosted immune systems.

These powerful protein concentrates that comes from Insect meal are highly palatable and means foods produced needs no added enhancers, flavours, or artificial ingredients. The Larvae are fed on fully traceable contaminant free feedstock through local suppliers where possible, and respect ethical standards while rearing insects.

As an important fringe benefit, a recent life-cycle assessment study comparing insect protein to conventional meat protein sources - showed insect protein production creates a substantial reduction in environmental impact, freshwater depletion, land use and global warming issues.

Bioscape’s fish food range “INSECTIVORE” – is made in Europe using the powerful protein of insect and worm larvae. INSECTIVORE is a full fish food range covering Tropical and Goldfish Flakes and Pellets, Algae Wafers, Bottom Feeder Food, Freeze Dried Discs Carnivore Sticks and Betta Flakes with F/Dried Mosquito Larvae.
