How to Calculate a Feed Conversion Ratio in Aquaculture

How to Calculate a Feed Conversion Ratio in Aquaculture

A large portion of the fish farmer’s operational cost is allocated to the price of the fish diet. The fish diet is fed to increase growth rates and maintain fish health in high-density aquaculture environments. The farmer needs to make sure he or she is optimizing feed use, reducing costs, and minimizing the environmental impact by not overfeeding. In aquaculture, a low Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) is particularly desirable to reduce the volume of feed required and thus, reduce production costs and improve farm profitability.
