feeding rate how much to feed my fish
The average weight of the fish (weight in a sample / no. of fish in sample); Feed Rate which is a percentage of its body weight (this data could be gotten from a feed chart of a feed production company or study materials) Feed ration per pond= average fish size (weight) x feed rate (%) x total number of fish in the pond. E.g. If an African catfish of 180 grams requires a ration of 2.5% of its body weight, how much food should it be given per day?
Without aeration, daily feeding should not exceed 30â35 lb of feed/acre. When water temperature is between 60 and 70 o F, feed at 2% of total fish weight daily (2 lb of feed for 100 lb of fish); or feed what the fish will eat in 20â25 minutes, once daily.
