Progressive Sizing and Feeding Rate Protocols

As fish mature, their absolute weight increases but metabolic energy requirements per gram decline.

⏱ Hatchery to grow-out schedules
Stage 01 β€’ 1 - 10 Days

Spawn / Hatchlings

1

Larval nutrition requires ultra-high water-soluble protein and highly digestible amino acids. Sieve powder finely to prevent gill choking.

Avg Fish Wt< 0.05 grams
Pellet SizeMicro-dust / Powder (< 0.3mm)
Protein Target45% - 50%
Daily Feed Pct15% - 20% of Biomass
Frequency: 6 - 8 times / day
Stage 02 β€’ 11 - 30 Days

Early Fry Stage

2

Rapid skeletal development occurs during this phase. High calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin C levels are vital to avoid skeletal deformities.

Avg Fish Wt0.05 - 2.0 grams
Pellet SizeStarter Crumble (0.5mm - 0.8mm)
Protein Target40% - 45%
Daily Feed Pct10% - 15% of Biomass
Frequency: 5 - 6 times / day
Stage 03 β€’ 31 - 60 Days

Fingerlings (Nursery)

3

Active transition phase where digestive enzymes mature. Begin utilizing highly stable floating starter feeds.

Avg Fish Wt2.0 - 15.0 grams
Pellet Size1.2mm - 1.5mm Micro Pellets
Protein Target38% - 40%
Daily Feed Pct6% - 10% of Biomass
Frequency: 4 times / day
Stage 04 β€’ 61 - 90 Days

Juveniles / Advanced Fingerlings

4

Peak muscle fiber recruitment. Maintain highly oxidized lipid sources and balanced protein-to-energy ratios for fat-free growth.

Avg Fish Wt15.0 - 50.0 grams
Pellet Size1.8mm - 2.5mm Floating Pellets
Protein Target32% - 35%
Daily Feed Pct4% - 6% of Biomass
Frequency: 3 - 4 times / day
Stage 05 β€’ 91 - 150 Days

Active Grow-Out Phase

5

Standard commercial growth period. Pellets must have excellent water stability (at least 20 minutes) to prevent nutrient leaching.

Avg Fish Wt50.0 - 250.0 grams
Pellet Size3.0mm - 4.0mm Floating/Sinking
Protein Target30% - 32%
Daily Feed Pct2.5% - 4% of Biomass
Frequency: 2 - 3 times / day
Stage 06 β€’ 151+ Days

Finishing / Pre-Harvest

6

Optimized for market muscle retention. Avoid excessive carbohydrates in this phase to prevent oily flesh and improve shelf life.

Avg Fish Wt250.0 - 600.0+ grams
Pellet Size4.5mm - 6.0mm Large Pellets
Protein Target28% - 30%
Daily Feed Pct1.5% - 2.5% of Biomass
Frequency: 2 times / day

Optimal Feed Transition Guideline

Never change feed pellet sizes abruptly. Mix the older pellet size with the new size (e.g., 75/25, 50/50, 25/75 ratio) over a span of 4 - 6 days. This ensures the fish digestive systems adapt to the altered hardness, swelling coefficients, and sink rates of different sized pellets, preventing bloating or localized stress.
