# Why insect production may have minimal impact on aquaculture sustainability | The Fish Site

> A Rabobank report says insect protein production is about 10,000 tonnes globally, limited by capacity, cost and legislation. More than €1 billion has been invested recently, mostly in late 2020. Rabobank expects insect feeds to improve aquaculture performance, but their overall sustainability impact will stay limited by low volumes.

Insect meal is too small in volume to meaningfully displace fishmeal or soybean meal in the near term, so price impact is minimal.
