Feed Transitions in Aquaculture

Feed transitions occur at multiple points in the production cycle: nursery to grower, grower to finisher, and when changing suppliers or formulations. Each transition is a stress event for the fish. The graduated mixing approach — blending decreasing proportions of old feed with increasing proportions of new feed — minimizes physiological stress and maintains consistent growth performance.
