18.2.Ration size
Ration size or feeding rate defines the amount of feed made available to the cultured organisms. An optimum ration is one, which gives the best growth and FCR and minimum wastage. Under feeding or over feeding should be avoided to harness the good potential growth.
Ration size is variable and depends on the species, size, age and temperature. The ration size is calculated as a percentage of the biomass present.
