Figure 1:

Growth evolution of Nile Tilapia fed with fish meal (T1), BSFL meal and yeast (T2) and BSFL meal (T3) diets (a, b, and c are indicatives of statistical differences).

Figure 2:

Microbial load in rearing water and gut of Nile Tilapia fed with fish meal (T1), BSFL meal and yeast (T2) and BSFL meal (T3) diets before and after the feeding trial.

Figure 3:

Histomorphological structure of the proximal intestine of Nile tilapia fed by T1 (A and B), T2 (C and D) and T3 (E and F). VH, VW, and MLT indicate the measurement of villi height, villus width, and muscular layer thickness, respectively.

Figure 4:

Differential leukocyte count (DLC) of Nile tilapia fish fed with fish meal(T1), BSFL meal and yeast (T2) and BSFL meal (T3) diets.
