Welcome to PondBoss. Bioenergetics, physics, the laws of thermodynamics.....and you just wanted to feed your fish. Simple, huh?
Optimal Forage Theory, explored by a hill jack:
"Hollis, you've got a choice. One plate has a lovely, wedge shaped slice of cantaloupe. The other has the same sized slice, but I've cut it into bite-sized chunks....which one do you choose?"
Hollis: " Give me the full slice. Only have to bend my elbow one time thataway".
Bioenergetics, front porch style.
"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"
If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
