5000 pieces x 200 g = 1.000.000 gr = 1000 kg total fish weight.
With a feeding rate of 1000 kg x 0.02 = 20 kg of total feeding per day
As seen in the two examples given above, our daily feed amount has doubled, although the
daily feeding rate has been halved in the feeding of fish with the same number but different
average weights. This difference is due to the size of the fish.
Calculation of the daily amount of feed used in fish feeding will be used to calculate the
required surface area for vegetables to be produced in the future geothermal system
installation and the amount of nitrogenous compounds to be loaded into the system.
In the tables below, daily feeding rates of some fish at certain temperatures and average
weights are given. These values may also vary according to the protein content of fish feed.
The most accurate feeding diet chart should be requested from the dealer from whom the fish
food is purchased.
