AQUAEXCEL2020 TNA stay2018-11-08
PhD student Ana Basto, from the Nutrition, Growth and Quality of Fish Research Group of CIIMAR (Centro Interdisciplinar De Investigação Marinha E Ambiental, Portugal) has stayed with the IATS-Nutrigroup by an AQUAEXCEL2020 TNA stay during October-November.
The INSECTFISH TNA is aimed to assess the use of insect larvae as protein sources to replace fishmeal in diets for European sea bass. A growth challenge has been conducted with diets with different inclusion levels of insect meal in their composition. Effects on growth and perfomance will be complemented with transcriptomic analysis of key genes of growth and metabolism.
