 Description of culture system
 Floating net cages of 122.5 m3 capacity (7 x 7 x 2.5 m) were used to test two different feeding patterns (daily satiation feeding vs. daily feeding at 3% BWD), also called the `satiation experiment'.

 Description of Nutrient input
 Feed given was a ground commercial feed (Comfeed) made up of 24-26% crude protein, 6-8% fat and has a metabolizable energy content of 2.6-2.8 kcal/g. Fish were fed daily to satiation in three equal feedings (morning, noon and sunset). Feeding to satiation means feeding until the fish stopped surfacing or until they spit out feed.
