Guys there are a bunch of studies on compensatory feeding or growth. It involves a comparison of feeding methods and growth for example feeding every day a certain amount vs feeding the same amount but skipping a day. So lets say you feed one pound of feed a day for a week or 7 lbs. Using compensatory feeding you would feed 2 lbs one day and the next day 0 - same amount over a week but spread out. You get the idea - the concept is better growth with short periods of no food. That is what they are talking about in the SRAC fact sheets.

But there is a difference with HSB as they are one of only a few predator fish who can digest/use carbs in their diet. So they get not only the lipids and proteins in fish food but can use the carbs also. They can become morbidly obese on higher carb fish food if given to much.
