ON LABELING INSECTS [PDF]

The Canadian Entomologist, 1901
There is a great lack of uniformity in labeling insects; owing to which it is often impossible to distinguish the name of the locality from that of the collector; and with reference to the date of capture, it is impossible to discover what is meant (when the day of capture is less than the 13th), on account of some collectors placing the day of the ...

Apparent digestibility of insect protein meals for rainbow trout [PDF]

, 2018
Insect meals are considered to be promising future ingredients for aquaculture feeds. In past feeding trials in rainbow trout, insect meals were included in diets only on the basis of their nutrients content and energy density without taking into account
