Fish farming (aquaculture) is one of the fastest growing food production sectors in the world. Originally developed as a means to enhance natural stocks, aquaculture now provides direct and indirect economic benefits to many local and regional economies. One of the largest growing segments in the aquaculture industry is that of feed production. As demand grows for high quality, locally farmed fish, the industry is looking to the feed producers to improve feed conversion ratios (FCR). Oreka Solutions ("Oreka") is an Ontario-based company that uses insect components in animal feeds. Oreka is looking at ways to yield better FCR values in addition to improving the health of the fish consuming their products (decreasing mortality rates, increasing resistance to pathogens, and optimizing production cycle times). The proposed research project will evaluate the extent to which food formulations can produce improvements in FCR and early life stage survivorship for rainbow trout living in typical hatchery conditions. The results of the project will improve the sales of Oreka Solutions fish feed products, as well as improve their market position.******

鱼类养殖（水产养殖）是世界上增长最快的粮食生产部门之一。 水产养殖最初是作为增加自然种群的一种手段而开发的，现在为许多地方和区域经济体提供了直接和间接的经济利益。水产养殖业增长最快的部门之一是饲料生产。随着对高质量本地养殖鱼类需求的增长，该行业正在寻求饲料生产商提高饲料转化率（FCR）。Oreka Solutions（“Oreka”）是一家在动物饲料中使用昆虫成分的安大略公司。除了改善食用其产品的鱼类的健康状况（降低死亡率，提高对病原体的抵抗力，优化生产周期时间）外，Oreka正在寻找获得更好FCR值的方法。拟议的研究项目将评估食品配方在多大程度上可以改善虹鳟鱼在典型孵化条件下的FCR和早期生命阶段存活率。该项目的结果将提高Oreka Solutions鱼饲料产品的销售，并提高其市场地位。
