ARG is a nutritionally very important and essential AA for fish, and is considered the fourth limiting AA in aquafeed. Most of fish species excretes ammonia predominantly through the gills, diffusing NH 3 or NH 4 (ammoniotelic animals). Therefore, unlike mammals, fish have a low hepatic activity of carbamoyl phosphate synthase III or ornithine carbamoyl...

Due to the projections of accelerated growth of world population, it is essential to increase the production of proteins from animal and plant origin. Insects have been used as an alternative protein source for humans (entomophagy) and other animals because of their greater efficiency in food conversion and less environmental impact (Van Huis et al. 2013, Van Huis 2013, Van Huis 2020). Edible insect larvae contain an average of 54% protein, including essential amino acids and vitamin...
