It is important to keep records of feeding as well as water quality and other production factors. With good records you can easily reference the amount of feed that was eaten on a daily basis. You can determine trends. This is a much better method than relying on memory. It also helps when someone else takes over feeding.
Feed is one of the major costs of producing fish.
Feed wisely, and you will have a profitable and enjoyable activity. Feed conversion ratio will determine the amount of feed is took to produce a pound of fish. The FCR can range from 1.5 to 2.0. The lower the FCR, the better the feed conversion to fish flesh. During the growing season, the fish should be disturbed as little as possible.
