Description
Summary:Fish food production is an important factor to be considered in both subsistnce and commercial fish farming as it has an impact on both growth and efficiency of flood waste. The new formulation of fish feed should have a floating potential. Most of the fish food pellets on the market are of low stability in water and swell easily when it is immersed in water. Therefore, vitamins and minerals will dissolve easily leached out of the pellet. This will lead to environmental problems and lack of nutriens in the tank or fish pond. Fish food pellets need to continue to arise for not contributing to the wastage of raw materials and water pollution . Floating pellet allows one to observe the feeding activity and thus avoid giving exessive. Floating food is a management tool that farners can see how many and how active the fish eat.
