Frequently Asked Questions
As the density of your production area increases so should the number of feeding points grow. Why? Movement triggers fish feeding behavior. In a large production area with one feeding point many fish will be too late in reaching this feeding point. All the feed will be eaten by a small percentage of fish.
More feeding points means fish have equal opportunity to eat over entire production area. This improves growth homogeneity, and your fish will all be of the right size at harvesting time.
Overfeeding leads to feed waste, which costs money and pollutes water. Polluted water leads to algal blooms, ammonia build up and low oxygen in the mornings. These are all bad for your fish!
Accurate feeding amounts can be achieved through regular sampling of fish weight and using this weight to calculate from feeding charts the correct amount of feed to be given daily. Also, an experienced technician can see from the fish feeding behavior if fish are hungry of not.
Keeping track of basic information of your farms production will improve your farm performance.
For example different water parameters can influence fish in many ways such as temperature on metabolic rates, dissolved oxygen on fish activity, pH on fish stress, algae on pH and dissolved oxygen, and ammonia on fish health. Daily checks of water parameters will help to determine the amount of feed required more accurately and let you know the condition of you fish.
