DRIVING BUSINESS SUCCESS

By: Victor Vargas Feed efficiency is the central axis around which the profitability and sustainability of any aquaculture operation revolve. In this context, the graphical analysis of feeding parameters emerges as an indispensable methodology for transforming raw data into strategic information, enabling precise and scientific management of the culture (Bureau & Hua, 2010).   The cornerstone of this analysis is the monitoring and visual representation of the Feed Conversion

By: Victor Vargas Efficient feed management in aquaculture is a fundamental pillar for maximizing growth and minimizing the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR). However, historically, the interpretation of production results has been dominated by subjective perceptions, beliefs, and speculation, which Talbot refers to as the "art" of aquaculture. This approach, although widespread, leads to significant inefficiencies, such as overfeeding or underfeeding, impacting both profitability

Understanding the Importance of Feed Management In modern aquaculture, the cornerstone of both profitability and sustainability lies in the precise management of feed. The relationship between the daily feeding rate, expressed as a percentage of body weight (% BW), and key performance indicators like the Specific Growth Rate (SGR) and the Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) is complex. It is not a simple linear progression but a carefully balanced curve. Understanding this dynamic is
