The aquaculture industry is currently facing a transformative era. As the global population nears 10 billion, the demand for high-quality seafood is skyrocketing. Traditionally, fishmeal has been the cornerstone of aquafeed; however, its ecological footprint and fluctuating prices have made it unsustainable. Insect-based aquafeed, particularly utilizing Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae and Yellow Mealworms, has emerged as the most viable alternative protein source.
In 2024, the global insect protein market for animal feed is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 25%. Major industrial players in Europe and North America are heavily investing in insect farming, but the real manufacturing powerhouse lies in China, where advanced processing and large-scale cost efficiencies converge.
Modern aquafeed requires precise floating or sinking characteristics. Our extrusion technology allows for micro-adjustments in density, ensuring that feed remains stable in water for up to 12 hours, minimizing waste and protecting water quality.
Insect protein is not just a filler. It contains essential antimicrobial peptides and chitin, which boost the immune system of fish and shrimp, reducing the reliance on antibiotics in intensive farming environments.
Sustainability is no longer an option but a requirement for global procurement. Insect farming requires 90% less land and 80% less water than traditional soy-based feed, helping our clients meet their ESG goals.

From the salmon farms of Norway to the shrimp ponds of Vietnam, the need for high-quality, insect-based aquafeed is localized but universal. Our OEM/ODM services cater to these specific regional requirements:
In high-temperature environments, palatability and water stability are crucial. Our Shrimp Paste and Squid Liver Paste additives are specifically engineered to attract larvae and juveniles, ensuring maximum feed intake and survival rates in tropical aquaculture.
Western markets prioritize sustainability certifications. Our insect-based formulations meet the rigorous "clean label" standards required by European retailers, providing a high-fat, high-protein profile that mimics the natural diet of wild salmon.
With water scarcity, feed that causes minimal ammonia buildup is essential. Our high-digestibility pellets ensure that fish absorb maximum nutrients, leaving the water cleaner for longer recirculation cycles.
Insect-based aquafeed is not merely a replacement; it is a nutritional upgrade. The Hermetia illucens (Black Soldier Fly) provides a unique profile of Lauric acid, which has proven antiviral properties in aquatic species. Our factory utilizes a low-temperature drying process to ensure that these delicate fatty acids and heat-sensitive vitamins remain intact.
Furthermore, our Double-Shaft Extrusion technology ensures a 98% gelatinization rate of starches, making the feed highly digestible for carnivorous fish like Sea Bass and Salmon. By controlling the screw speed and steam injection, we produce pellets ranging from 0.5mm to 10mm, covering the entire lifecycle of the species.
With strong R&D capabilities, modern production facilities, and global export experience, Hangzhou Pawlix Pet Co., Ltd. provides OEM and customized solutions to meet diverse market demands. Committed to innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, Pawlix aims to be a trusted partner in aquaculture nutrition and pet health worldwide. Whether you are looking for bulk insect meal, specialized growth additives, or complete extrusion production lines, we are your reliable Chinese partner for the next generation of aquafeed.
