The newRIFF (new life for Rice by-products and agricultural wastes: Insects bioconversion for Fish Feed production) project aims at testing the suitability for recovery and enhancement of paddy rice processing by-products, and to use them, together with other organic waste, as a substrate for the cultivation of insects to be used in turn for aquafeed formulations. The tests of the use of the feed thus produced will be carried out with the rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as a pilot species, due to the importance that this fish has in the Italian aquaculture sector, particularly in Northern Italy.
