| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the rapid increase in the world’s population, insects are attracting worldwide attention as new food and feed resources. In this study, we challenged the development of highly functional fish feeds using insect meal that can be expected to be resistant to diseases and have high growth potential. The use of insects for feed material can contribute to the reduction of environmental impact. As a result, we succeeded in the developing technology to replace all animal protein in culture feed with insect meal, the isolation and purification of functional polysaccharides that act on immune activation of animals from dipteran and lepidopteran insects, and the clarifying one of the molecular mechanisms of the functions of insect-derived polysaccharides. These results contribute to the realization of a new sustainable food production model using insects as feed material.
