Last winter we ran an indoor trial on Northern Bluegill starting around 5 g with a 32% crude protein catfish chow comparing it to 35% crude protein catfish feed, 40% CP trout feed and a 45% CP salmon feed. Not saying brand names. The 32% CP did not perform as well in terms of performance or cost effectiveness. Best diets were at top of CP range with one having better performance and another better cost effectiveness when ignoring labor costs. All were provided the same feeding regimen.
This is getting off topic.
