Feeding Details
Do not use for
- For automatic feed dispensing — this generates paper records, not controller programs
- As a feed formulation tool — use this for logging, not diet design
Record actual amount consumed, not just dispensed
If feed remains uneaten after 20 minutes, note the difference. Overfeeding wastes money and degrades water quality.
Log at consistent times
Feed response varies by time of day. Recording at the same time each day makes trend analysis reliable.
Pair with biomass samples
A feeding log without periodic biomass sampling cannot produce FCR. Sample every 2-4 weeks to calculate running FCR.

Feed Management in Aquaculture
Feed conversion ratio (FCR) — the kilograms of feed required to produce one kilogram of fish — is the single most important economic metric in aquaculture. Typical FCRs range from 1.2-1.5 for tilapia and 1.0-1.3 for salmon. Daily feeding logs provide the numerator data (feed input) needed to calculate FCR and identify inefficiencies before they become costly.
