An 8-week feeding trial was conducted to investigate the influence of partial replacement of fishmeal (FM) by black soldier fly (BSF) (Hermetia illucens) on the growth, distal intestine morphology, intestinal flora, and intestinal immune response of pearl gentian grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus ♀...
