Optimum Feeding Rate for the Sub-adult Olive Flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, Fed Practical Extruded Pellets at Optimum Water Temperature

We investigated the effects of feeding rate on the growth, blood components, and histology of the growing olive flounder ( Paralichthys olivaceus ). We determined the optimum feeding rate (initial fish mean weight = 525.3 ± 7.12 g) at the optimum water temperature. Two replicate groups of fish were fed a commercial diet at rates of 0%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, and 0.8% (i.e., to satiation) of body weight (BW) per day. The feeding trial was conducted...
