Doing a little research and ran across this article, wanted to see if you have discussed this before and get your take on it. http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/reprint/111/6/1085

Chad thanks for finding and posting that study. Looks like a little higher protein level (over 32%) would be in order.

I read this several times. However, I have to ask what the long term effect will be on the health of those fish.
For example, it is my understanding that a 40% protien feed can cause liver damage in channel cats. Therefore, can they reach their ultimate potential size? No problem for a commercial fish farmer but how about the pond owner.
Will taking a short cut ultimately retard the size of that bass? It would be interesting to continue the study beyond the initial phases.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.
