Daily feed consumption by 0.09-lb channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) stocked at 50 and 75 Ib offish per 0.25-acre pond, and by 0.57-lb channel catfish stocked at 100 and 200 Ib of fish per 0.25-acre pond, was measured for 157 d. Demand feeders were used to determine feed consumption. Feed consumption routinely varied, on successive days, an average of 61 and 31%. for the 0.57-lb fish stocked at the higher and lower rates, respectively, and 58% for both stocking densities of the 0.09-lb fish.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
