Abstract

This study examined the diversity and responses of intestinal microbiota in hybrid grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀ × E. lanceolatus ♂) fed diets with varying levels of fishmeal replaced by black soldier fly larvae (BSFL). The 10% BSFL substitution (BSFL10) group showed the highest levels of trypsin and amylase. Substituting fishmeal with 30% and 50% BSFL weakened the intestinal wall, resultin…
