Abstract
Feeding regime or feeding rate? is how much to feed the fish. From how much or portion used for fish feed can affect fish growth. Feeding regime is the determination of the amount of feed per day based on the feeding rate (FR). Feeding rate is the feed requirement per day based on fish biomass and weight.
Aims: This research aims to find out how the relationship between feeding regime and fish growth and development.
Study Design: Journal review.
Methodology: The research method used was descriptive analysis method or library research by collecting data from written sources, namely journals that are relevant to the topic of the writing being carried out. After the data was collected, the next was the data selection in accordance with the research objectives. The selected data was then processed systematically and structured while data analysis was carried out using a descriptive approach by presenting the data obtained in narrative form.
Results: The result of this research indicated that fish growth and development are influenced by internal and external factors, one of which is the fish feeding regime.
Conclusion: Feeding regime is an important factor in aquaculture. This feeding regime includes how to feed and the portion that will be given to the fish being cultured. Good feed contains sufficient nutrients as needed for fish growth. In addition to the feed factor, growth is also influenced by internal and external factors such as the type of fish, type of feed, environment and others. A good feeding regime or rate? must be adjusted to the nutritional needs of fish, each type of fish has different nutritional needs.
