With that said, I had a nice little tidbit of information in lecture the other day.
In trout and other salmonids it takes 330 grams of protein from a modern hatchery formulated diet to produce 1 pound of fish.
I thought that most of the fish food had a higher conversion rate than natural forage.
A natural forage diet however only takes 143 grams of protein in order to produce 1 pound of fish.
What does that tell us when we are talking about fish we currently know the most about nutritionally (followed closely by catfish of course)?
Is this specific to "trout and other salmonids" or does this principal hold true LMB, BG and other more commonly used pond species?
What
does this tell us when we are talking about fish we currently know the most about nutritionally?
I guess I should be able to draw some form of conclusions here but am having trouble connecting the dots.
