Creator Rao, P Vedavyasa
 
Subject Fish Nutrition
 
Description Malnutrition, as it adversely affects-the human
being, impairs the growth, reproduction, health and wellbeing
of the finfishes and shellfishes also. In the farming
of these animals in an environment unlike their natural
habitat, feeding of the stocked population with nutritionally
balanced and quality diets is of critical importance not only
to promote their optimal biological and physiological processes,
but also to the production. In the different aquaculture
systems except that practised on farming the animals
feeding on the natural food available in the field, formulated
feeds are provided either as supplementary' feed or as
whole feed. For the preparation of the formulated feed
having the optimum dietary nutrient levels, the essential
prerequisite is to have an understanding of the nutrient
requirements of the species selected for culture.
