Journal ArticleDOI
A feed is only as good as its ingredients – a review of ingredient evaluation strategies for aquaculture feeds
TL;DR: Issues relating to feed intake are the key performance criteria in palatability assessments, and it is important that such experiments maintain sufficient stringency to allow some self-discrimination of the test feeds by the fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replacement of fish meal in diets for Australian silver perch, Bidyanus bidyanus. I. Digestibility of alternative ingredients
Geoff L. Allan,Scott Parkinson,Mark A. Booth,David A.J. Stone,Stuart J. Rowland,Jane Frances,Rebecca Warner-Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Silver perch were capable of digesting protein very effectively in almost all ingredients tested, and provided a useful starting point for least-cost formulation of diets for silver perch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replacement of fish meal in diets for Australian silver perch, Bidyanus bidyanus: IV. Effects of dehulling and protein concentration on digestibility of grain legumes
TL;DR: Both dry matter and energy digestibility of most grains was dramatically improved after dehulling or protein concentration, indicating processes such as these are highly desirable for legumes prior to their inclusion in diets for silver perch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of digestible protein and energy requirements of yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi using a factorial approach
TL;DR: This study used a factorial approach to estimate the digestible protein (DP) and energy (DE) requirements of yellowtail kingfish Seriola lalandi weighing between 50 to 2000 g and reared at 20–25 °C and to calculate theoretical changes in the optimum ratio of DP:DE and estimate change in the theoretical feed conversion ratio (FCR) or feed intake with increasing fish size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of feeding regime and fish size on weight gain, feed intake and gastric evacuation in juvenile Australian snapper Pagrus auratus
TL;DR: The feeding study indicated that optimum to maximum weight gain and FCR in juvenile snapper can be achieved by feeding fish to apparent satiation twice per day, and this information will help operators of snapper hatcheries/nurseries plan their feeding regimes and assist with benchmarking performance.
