HIM0, fish meal group; HIM25, HIM35, and HIM50%, Hermetia illucens meal at 25, 35, and 50% substitution rates of fish meal groups, respectively.

Fish: 18 per diet, 6 fish per tank, and 3 replications per diet.

SFA, sum of the saturated fatty acids; MUFA, sum of the monounsaturated fatty acids; PUFA, sum of the polyunsaturated fatty acids; EPA, eicosapentaenoic acid; DHA, docosahexaenoic acid; AI, atherogenic Index; TI, thrombogenic Index; PI, peroxidation index; H/H, hypocholesterolaemic/hypercholesterolaemic ratio. Mean values with different letters in the same row are significantly different at p < 0.05.
