The article is an aquaculture application in an RAS and is different than what one would expect in a supplemental feeding program in a pond. In addition, it deals with a cool water species (RT and Steelhead) which changes feeding a bit as they are closer to HSB in feeing and aquaculture applications. Max growth and max feeding rate at temperature are often different. If interested, you might look into compensatory feeding as a theory. The article is a very good (straight-forward explanation) as it relates to basic bioenergetics in a recirculating aquaculture system. Look for upcoming articles on LMB and BG growth, metabolism and temperature in PB mag.
