Eric,

So is 1.5% of body weight recommended for trout at 55 degrees and 6% at 65 degrees recommended for feeding? In the largemouth study the authors noted a linear relationship with temperature. Would the same apply to trout? If so, would be a cinch to calculate optimum feeding.

Would be great to know the feed consumption rates (eg oz/trout-min) for various sizes of trout at various temps. Something like that might be a way to estimate the number of survivors helping to optimize feed.

With regard to the LMB, did the authors provide metrics or a graph of the temperature and feeding rate relationship? I would be interested in that from the perspective of predicting winter growth of LMB. Anyways, thanks for thoughts above.
