Brief Project Summary:

This project determined to identify the recommend dietary protein energy rations for tiger and humpback grouper for different weight ranges. Feed trials found that diets based on current knowledge of dietary requirements for humpback grouper provides faster, more efficient growth than common commercial diets. The research also sought to determine if extra cost of predator netting is justified given stress and growth performance of white seabass and if nylon nets can be used to lower costs for growing white seabass in offshore systems with and without a surrounding predator net.

Key Audience:
Aquaculture feed producers, aquaculture nutritionists, fish producers
