Feeding Practices for Baitfish

No Author Listed

In the past, baitfish were primarily cultured by extensive or semi-intensive methods relying heavily on naturally occurring foods for nourishment. However, land and water resources are now more limited and intensification of baitfish production has become an economic necessity. The resultant high fish densities effectively reduce the availability of natural foods for individual fish. Thus, intensively cultured fish are generally fed prepared feeds to support maximum growth. In addition to serving as a direct food source for the fish, prepared feed may also act as a fertilizer to stimulate the growth of the pond's natural food (biota).
