Note

Protein and energy specifications were developed for starter diets to support tank reared channel catfish lctalurus punctatus through a series of feeding trials with diets formulated by computer and using ingredients commonly available in feed mill inventories. A high level of crude protein, about 58% of diet dry matter, and a high protein: energy ratio, 126 mg digestible protein/kcal digestible energy, supported maximum growth among swim-up stage fish.
