Only experienced fish farmers should try to produce more than 1,000 lbs. of catfish per surface acre using cage culture. Feeding Caged fish are not free to search for natural food. All the nutrients for growing, caged fish must be in the feed. Cage culture rations have extra nutrients and vitamins that are necessary for proper fish growth. Do not buy large amounts of feed at one time.
Vitamins lose their potency in stale, aging feed.
Avoid feeding your fish molded feeds. Molded feeds often contain toxins that can kill your fish. You should feed your fish daily, if possible. Feed from 10 AM to 4 PM, when oxygen levels are highest. When you set a feeding time, try to remain consistent.
