Energy is one of the most important constituents of diet in fish. This study was
conducted to determine the effects of substituting different levels of fish oil (FO) with
black soldier fly larvae oil (BSFLO) (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) on the energy content of
protein, lipid and glycogen in the muscle of juvenile Pangasius catfish. Biochemical
analysis of protein, lipid and glycogen contents on fish muscle determined after 30
days of cultivation. From this study, diet with 0% BSFLO showed lower protein, lipid
and glycogen in the muscle. As the percentage of BSFLO increased, protein content
increased. Protein contents were similar for 25, 50, 75 and 100% BSFLO substitution.
Lipid and glycogen contents were similar with increasing value from 0 to 50% inclusion
but decreased again to 100% BFSLO. It can be concluded that diet with 50% inclusion
level showed higher energy reserve in the fish muscle.
