ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate the proximate composition, heavy metal contents, antimicrobial activity, and in vitro digestibility of Nauphoeta cinerea (Nc) as a replacement for fish meal (FM) and soybean meal (SBM) in diets for a carnivorous (tropical gar, Atractosteus tropicus) and an omnivorous (tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus) fish. Nauphoeta cinerea were fed a formulated diet based on fruits, vegetables, beef liver, and grains. They had an acceptable level of protein (46.50 g 100 g−1) and high contents of lipids […]
