quote "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."
I am more than a little confused here. What I am gathering they mean is that 330 gr. of, say 35% feed is about 1000g of feed, or near a 2 to 1 gain ratio.
Natural forage, being made up mostly of water, requires less protein, but much more weight in vs. weight gained for live forage.
