So after reading through the above, I'm thinking that my tendency to feed my fish markedly less than they would seem to be able to consume could potentially be benefiting their growth in ways I didn't realize. Interesting.

Imagine we were partners in a feeding operation. We would measure satiation according to a defined method. It would involve feeding the fish more feed than they would consume in a given span of time. We would collect the uneaten feed and count the pellets and by knowing the count per pound we could then estimate the weight of feed consumed. This weight divided by they weight of the fish before eating is the specific satiation rate. To the one interviewed, this metric means 100% satiation.
