FEEDING OF FISHES

Farm-made feeds are fed using feeding tray due to the fact that they are heavy and tend to sink. A feeding tray of 1m by 1m is used. The feed is fed to the fish based on their total biomass. Feeding trays are typically used to avoid overfeeding in aquaculture production systems.  They are sometimes used to deliver 100% of the feed and other times to evaluate broadcast feeding efficiency with a number of trays per pond.
