Does Genetic Background of Rainbow Trout Impact Growth and Feed Utilisation following Fishmeal Substitution by Partly Defatted Insect Meal (Hermetia illucens) or Microalgae Powder (Arthrospira platensis)?

Table 3

Apparent digestibility coefficients of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and (semi-) essential amino acids in different strains of rainbow trout fed either a fishmeal based (control) or fishmeal-free diets (HM20, SP20).

Values could not be tested for statistical differences due to limitation of replicates. HM20 = fishmeal was completely substituted by Hermetia-meal; SP20 = fishmeal was completely substituted by spirulina-meal.
