Mealworms can be used as a substitute for fish powder, which is expensive and has the risk of resource depletion. The system will use IT to manage growth confirmation and temperature\/humidity control. The startup company, Booon, will work on fundraising and factory establishment. They plan to use leftover food as feed and develop a small container that can be installed on land smaller than 10 square meters. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nagasaki-u.ac.jp\/ja\/guidance\/kouhou\/press\/file\/2022\/20230224-2.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nagasaki University<\/span><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nikkei.com\/article\/DGXZQOJC070JJ0X00C23A3000000\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nikkei<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-151878\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_nagasaki-mealworm_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1400%2C530&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nagasaki University Develops Insect-Based Fish Feed System\" width=\"1400\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_nagasaki-mealworm_2023_cl.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_nagasaki-mealworm_2023_cl.jpg?resize=300%2C114&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_nagasaki-mealworm_2023_cl.jpg?resize=1024%2C388&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/fn_nagasaki-mealworm_2023_cl.jpg?resize=768%2C291&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>Get Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu area news and events in English regularly.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Sign up for our <\/span><b>free<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> weekly newsletter.
