Re: Controling FCR

Dear all,

I experimented with feeding trays over 1 year (3 cycles).
The best result has been in low density stocking ponds (<5/m2).

I used in a 3.200 m2 pond 20 feding trays of the size 100 cm x 200 cm x 5 cm.

After 90 day farming the average size (P. Monodon) has been 28 gr. The FCR has been 0.95.

In a high density stocking 30 - 40 (same size of pond) I failed! Looks like I need 40 - 50 feding trays.

Feding from feding trays as I observed help me to maintain a good water quality (for a long period) as well lower my feeding.

Regards,
Dieter
