Description
Albino Maveto and co-authors test fish feed recipes for young giant grouper in a 2026 study. The grouper is a prized farmed fish that grows fast, yet feed knowledge lags behind production. The team varied the starch level in the feed and how finely the ingredients were ground, two factors that shape both feed quality and fish health.
Seven feeds were tested over six weeks, with starch at low, medium, and high levels and grinding at two sizes. Starch above the lowest level raised signs of gut inflammation in the fish. Feed ground to the finer size slowed growth and left livers swollen with stored sugar. The authors advise against raising starch above the lowest level tested, and against the finer grinding size.
