How does a fish farmer know how much food to feed the fish they grow?
Feed is the most significant cost factor in operating a salmon farm. Approximately 40 per cent of the salmon farm’s operating cost is spent on feed. Therefore, it is important to avoid wasting food. Farms are equipped with monitoring systems, such as underwater video cameras and electronic devices for controlling feeding. This helps to ensure feed conversion ratios (the amount of food required to produce fish) are as low as possible.
