Abstract:
... A 7-week feeding experiment was conducted to determine the optimum feeding frequency for growth, body composition and gastric evacuation of the juvenile Korean rockfish. Three replicate groups of the fish (average weight of 5.7 g) were fed to visual satiety either dry pellets (DP) or moist pellets (MP), at different feeding frequencies (two meals a day, one meal a day or one meal every 2 days). At ...

Abstract:
... The combined effects of stocking density, feeding frequency and size-grading on feeding and growth of adult Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) were measured in a series of four experiments. Specific growth rates decreased from a maximum of 1.08%/day at 2 kg/m3 stocking density to 0.66% at 40 kg/m3 density. Over 2 months, biomass increased 60-89% in fish stocked at low densities (< 10 kg/m3) but only b ...

Abstract:
... Feeding experiments were carried out on juvenile yellowtail flounder (Limanda ferruginea) (6.8 +/- 0.2 g), a candidate for cold-water aquaculture in eastern North America. At about 7 degrees C, feeding frequency was shown to have a significant (P < 0.05) effect on food consumption and growth, with fish fed to apparent satiation in two or four daily meals consuming more food and growing better than ...

The objective of the present study was to develop and simulate one-dimensional statistical models of the food and feeding patterns of Farfantepenaeus subtilis by using the dynamic modelling language Stella II. Parameters employed ...

Abstract:
... Common pandora is a highly priced species for the Mediterranean fish culture industry and its production is based on feeds and practices used for the rearing of the commonly produced sea bream and sea bass, with lower performances. A group of common pandora juveniles was reared in sea cages on two isonitrogenous diets, HL with 16.45%, and LL with 9.4% crude lipid, respectively, to apparent satiati ...

Abstract:
... The common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is an agastric fish, meaning absorption of nutrients is highly dependent on the rate of feed passage in the gut. Two diets and 3 feeding strategies were used in a 2×3 factorial experiment, conducted to determine whether utilization of supplemental DL-methionine (DL‐Met) interacts with feeding strategies. Diets 1 and 2 contained, respectively, no Met supplementatio ...
