Ahhh. I was thinking there might be some FCR data available from the manufacturers and I wasn't seeing it on my quest for info through the google. My FCR search only turned up descriptions like "highly digestible", and "efficient" vs any real data. Before we started buying food for the pond I spent a lot of time trying to research what I thought was going to be the best choice and what settled it in my mind was info from multiple sources (here on the forum, discussions in PM from members here, matching the food that the hatchery I was purchasing fish from - at least initially as a transition to the food I wanted to use (tip from our own Bill Cody), and
The Yellow Perch Culture Guide.
Page 48 (listed on page) or page 56 listed some information from the study on protein and lipid counts that I thought were useful for the YP we were planning to stock in our pond.
From there it was trying to line up one of the feeds that was a close match. There was one clear winner here when I looked at Purina, Optimal, Skretting, and Cargil.
