Low effect of different feeding regimes on growth and feed conversion efficiency of juvenile Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis )

Feed intake, growth, feed utilization, body composition and waste output of juvenile hybrid bream at different feeding frequencies

“…Determining the appropriate feeding strategies is critical in fish farming practices when optimal dietary diet formulation for fish is established (Wu, Han, Qin, & Wang, ). Generally, feeding strategies are characterized with optimal feeding rates and feeding frequencies (Wang, Kong, Li, & Bureau, ; Wysujack & Drahotta, ), and they have been widely evaluated in aquatic species, such as feeding rate for rainbow trout (Bureau, Hua, & Cho, ), Chinese sucker (Yuan et al, ), green sturgeon (Zheng, Deng, Riu, Moniello, & Hung, ), and feeding frequency for olive flounder (Lee & Pham, ), large yellow croaker (Xie, Ai, Mai, Xu, & Ma, ), bluegill (Roy et al, ). Compared with ration level, feeding frequency is more practically useful in fish farming since an optimum feeding frequency not only enhance fish growth performance and feed conversion, but also reduce labour cost of farming practice (Li, Robinson, Oberle, & Lucas, ; Silva, Gomes, & Brandão, ; Yilmaz & Eroldogan, ).…”
