Silkworm are the caterpillar of several moth species that are used to produce silk. When they begin their pupa phase, a silkworm encases itself in raw silk. The entire pupa is then harvested and boiled to separate the silk from the cocoon. In this process, the spent pupae are considered a waste material but they have been captured by Eastern cultures for some time to be used in a range of applications like industrial oil production, fertilizers, livestock feed, or even human food.
Silkworm pupae, a waste of the silk reeling industry, is a suitable candidate as a Fish Meal replacement because of its high nutritional value. Dry pupae contain 50–70% crude protein and 24–33% crude lipid, and is a high-quality insect protein source with a rich, balanced content of essential amino acids.
For centuries, Japanese Koi breeders have been using silkworm pupae as a natural food to help Koi gain weight more rapidly. This is because silkworms are one of the healthiest feeder insects around, containing very little fat and high levels of calcium, protein, and various B vitamins. These properties help Koi and other fish, not only grow at a faster rate, but also help to improve the luster and shine of their scales.
Including silkworm pupae in a fish diet is a great way to simulate the type of nutrient dense variety that Koi would experience if they were kept in mud pond or other fish might find in the wild. If you think about it, a fish in the wild graze on a wide variety of edible plants, algaes and insects throughout the day. In order to replicate that varied food source in a tank or pond, including some other nutrient sources, like silkworm pupae, is a great idea.
