This self-paced learning module offers an in-depth understanding of the crucial role that fish feed and feeding practices play in Integrated Aqua-Vegeculture Systems (iAVs). Through guided reading from the iAVs Handbook and interactive quizzes, participants will learn how proper fish nutrition impacts both fish health and plant growth within the system.

This module will explore the following key aspects of fish feed and feeding within iAVs:

  • The Importance of Fish Feed Composition: Understand how feed composition affects the health and sustainability of the entire iAVs.
  • Energy Requirements of Fish: Learn to optimize conditions for fish growth by addressing their energy needs.
  • Proximate Composition & Essential Nutrients: Gain insights into the critical nutrients fish require and how they influence the system’s balance.
  • Examine the types of feeds used during iAVs research and discover how to select high-quality feed.
  • Master key feed rate principles and adapt feeding practices to suit your specific system requirements.
  • Learn the benefits of using floating pellets and why avoiding additives is crucial for system balance.
  • Create appropriate feeding schedules tailored for optimal fish and plant performance.
  • Understand how to identify signs of overfeeding and mitigate its harmful effects.
  • Explore the pros and cons of using automatic feeders in iAVs.
  • Ensure feed quality is maintained through proper storage techniques.
  • Recognize how feeding practices directly impact water quality and system health.
  • Discover how to modify the mineral content of fish feed to better support plant nutrient needs.

By completing this module, learners will gain a comprehensive understanding of how fish feed and feeding practices shape the success of an iAVs system, equipping them with the tools to optimize fish health, water quality, and plant production.
