Good nutrition in animal production K e yw or ds systems is essential to economical production of a healthy, high-quality Fish, product. In fish farming (aquaculture), nutrition is critical because feed Nanotechnology, typically represents approximately 50 percent of the variable production Feed cost.

Fish being highly between and within species. Some of the nutritive in nature, it provides a large amount rhythms are controlled by endogenous clock of protein and oil in both basic and reduced mechanisms, but environmental factors, such (fish meal) form which is used for animal as day length or temperature, may either culture. Its unique amino acid profile and high control others or act as time setters or digestibility makes it one of the essential synchronizers (Madrid et al., 2001). component of modern day animal farming. Tacon et al., 2006 divided aquaculture into Understanding of the physiologic rhythms in four broad categories based upon the relative farmed fish can help to provide useful position of the animals cultured in the trophic information about the selection of proper hierarchy and thus the fishmeal and fish oil in times for feeding fish to maximize growth, their diets. improve feed efficiency, and reduce feed wastage and fecal output to minimize the Carnivorous finfish: included fishes with high environmental impacts of aquaculture. The protein requirements which should be mostly three marked feeding rhythms that affect food from animal sources. This group includes the consumption in fish are diel(daily), annual salmonids, as well as many marine and (seasonal), and tidal (lunar) rhythms. Most freshwater species such as seabass, seabream, fish in culture systems have diel feeding 2439 Int.J.Curr.Microbiol.App.Sci (2020) 9(1): 2438-2448 rhythms whereby they are either diurnal Nutrient requirements of fish feeders (eat during the day) or nocturnal feeders (eat at night).Biotic factors(such as Nutrient requirement for fishes and animals threat of predation) and abiotic factors (such are not very different as fishes too thrive as lighting conditions) affects changes in nutrients including amino acids, fatty acids, many fishes on the feeding pattern (Daan S vitamins, minerals, and energy-yielding 1981 and Bougard et al., 1992). On the basis macronutrients (protein, lipid, and of culture system used, feeds and feeding of carbohydrate).

For example, fish species (NRC 1993, Halver et al.,). catfish, salmon, and shrimp require floating, Minimum requirements established can slow-sinking, or fast-sinking feeds, promote growth without any deficiency respectively because of their different symptoms however additional amount of preferred feeding habits in the water column. nutrients will increase reserves present in For salmonids and marine fishes extrusion muscles. Although the minimum nutrient technology is widely used to produce cold requirements established promote growth and water feeds. Extruded feed contains high prevent deficiency signs, higher intakes of energy contents based on high levels of lipid vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and essential (20%–40% of the diet). Feed efficiency for fatty acids increase buildup of their reserves fishes is based upon their distribution and in the tissues. However continued intake of amount of feed to be fed depends upon factors certain nutrients in excess amounts leads to like percentage of body weight and water saturation of various coenzymes.
