Sustainable aquaculture production requires alternative fish oil as lipid source in fish<br />

feed. Therefore, this project was conducted to determine lipid substitution of fish oil<br />

with black soldier fly larvae oil on growth performance of Pangasius catfish<br />

Pangasianodon hypopthalmus juveniles. Five iso-nitrogenous (30%) and isolipidic<br />

(12%) experimental diets were formulated having 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% fish oil<br />

replacement with black soldier fly larvae oil. The results from this study showed that<br />

there are no significant difference of survival, feed intake, weight gain, specific growth<br />

rate and feed conversation ratio among treatments. It is concluded that fish oil can<br />

be replaced up to 100% black soldier fly larvae oil as sustainable alternatives lipid<br />

source for pangasius catfish without affecting its growth performance.<br />
