After all the challenges met on the way, the risks and demotivating days, there are no words for describing this experience.

Special thanks are referred to the supervisors from the <i>Institute of Aquaculture University of Stirling, (UK)</i>, the incredible staff of the commercial tilapia farm (every day I learnt many things from them and they were fantastic with me), to the fish-feed factory staff for their cool availability, to the tilapia fingerlings and to the Black Soldier Flies, hoping that they can be helpful for the project’s purpose for a better future.<br />

This insect larval feeds based trial carried out on a commercial tilapia cage farm in Ghana, was the first of its kind not just in this Country but also in West Africa. It was carried out as part of the <i>ECFP7</i> funded <i>PROteINSECT</i> project <b><u><span style="color: #073763;">http://www.proteinsect.eu/</span></u> </b> . </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The data from the trial are now being analyzed and further laboratory tests are being carried out at the <i>Institute of Aquaculture University of Stirling, (UK)</i> on post-trial body carcass composition by <i>Stirling PhD</i> student Emilie Devic. </div>

When completed, the results will form part of Emilie’s<i> PhD </i>thesis which when published will be freely available online on the<i> University of Stirling</i> website.</div>

Then from each cage all the fish were firstly crowded up in the cage then gently netted out, grouped by 30 into bowls with water containing plastic baskets. Then each batch (of 30 subjects), was weighted due to gaining the ABW (average body weight).<br />
From each sampled basket, one fish was taken and sacrificed for further analyses on whole body composition. Euthanasia was realized by anesthetic an overdose of clove oil.</div>

Before the sampling day, I made a challenge with Felix the person who feed the fish on the growth results of the different trial cages: We bet, only according to our eyes and the experience of running the trial for the last 4 weeks, which diet made the fish grow the fastest. The reward in case of losing was a Swiss knife from me, and tilapia with banku from Felix.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately I am not allowed to reveal the results here concerning this trial, but I can say that Felix had very good eye and I lost!!<br />

<br />
The accuracy of feeders in observing fish behavior during feeding and their growth is very important for the welfare of fish farm, since they have the crucial importance in up-growing the fish avoiding as much as possible the wasting of feed, and making it been eaten all and converted in flesh. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately nowadays many fish farms in Africa undervalue the key role of fish-feeders, and usually many un-trained or not careful people are employed, with the unhappy result in bad economic balances for feed wastes for overfeeding or careless, until the crash of the whole farm in a couple of years.</div>

So, because of excellent feeder’s eye, before leaving the tilapia farm I had to give him my Swiss knife (unfortunately hazards are not my business!).</div>
