$ 1.49
This topic helps the reader to understand fish feeding characteristics, suitable fish feeds, commercially produced feeds, formulating an optimal diet, feed types and other dietary components, feeding rate, frequency, and timing, feed digestion and absorption, feed conversion, and efficiency, feeding by fish species and other fish feeding strategies, fish feed care and storage as well as fish waste management.
In aquaculture, feeding is not an exact science, as feed requirements differ across species and a producer is more likely to be successful when feed requirements for a given species are known and where feed is readily and economically available; this topic helps the reader to understanding fish feeding characteristics, suitable fish feeds, commercially produced feeds, formulating an optimal diet, feed types and other dietary components, feeding rate, frequency, and timing, feed digestion and absorption, feed conversion and efficiency, feeding by fish species and other fish feeding strategies, fish feed care and storage as well as fish waste management.
