Abstract:
|
A review of conventional and unconventional feeds in fish nutrition was carried out to provide
information on supplemental feed and its formulation for effective culture fisheries management. Foods for fry
and fingerlings frequently exceed 50% crude protein. As growth rate decreases and fish age, protein levels in
diets are decreased accordingly. Technology associated with rearing of live foods is improving rapidly. This
is having a positive impact on larval rearing, a frequent bottleneck for commercialization of “new” species. This
article reviews live feed for fish larvae, fish foods, fish feed ingredients, some common conventional feed stuff,
animal and plant sources of unconventional feeds for culture fish, fish feed formulation and feeding methods
to provide more information for the effective management of fish farming.
Key words: Conventional and unconventional feed stuffs, feed formulation, feeding methods, live fish feed, , ,
