Abstract
The impact of short-term feeding of three distinct diets containing insect meals on the intestinal microbiota of African catfish hybrid (Clarias gariepinus × Heterobranchus longifilis) juveniles was examined. The animals received experimental diets containing 30% insect meals derived from black soldier-fly larvae (BSL) (Hermetia illucens), yellow mealworm (Tenebrio molitor) or blue bottle-fly larvae (Calliphora vicina) for 18 days. The relative abundance of the Bacillaceae, the Planococcaceae and other bacteria significantly increased (p < 0.05) in the intestinal microbiota of the BSL group and also in the pooled group of the three catfish groups that received insect meals. Several strains of the Bacillales cultured from BSL feed had higher (p < 0.05) abundance in the intestinal microbiota of the BSL group compared to those of the control group. Among these Bacillales strains, a single fosB antibiotic resistance gene was identified. In the gut resistomes of both the BSL and the control catfish groups, the tetA(P), tetB(P) and lnu(C) antibiotic-resistance determinants were detected, while fosB was detected only in the BSL group. Overall, the study showed that a short-term shift to diets containing insect meals can induce significant (q < 0.05) changes in the gut microbiota of the African catfish without the development of reduced α-diversity and without the overgrowth of bacteria pathogenic to fish.

期刊介绍:
Animals (ISSN 2076-2615) is an international and interdisciplinary scholarly open access journal. It publishes original research articles, reviews, communications, and short notes that are relevant to any field of study that involves animals, including zoology, ethnozoology, animal science, animal ethics and animal welfare. However, preference will be given to those articles that provide an understanding of animals within a larger context (i.e., the animals'' interactions with the outside world, including humans). There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research in as much detail as possible. Full experimental details and/or method of study, must be provided for research articles. Articles submitted that involve subjecting animals to unnecessary pain or suffering will not be accepted, and all articles must be submitted with the necessary ethical approval (please refer to the Ethical Guidelines for more information).
