The seminars also covered feeding management using extruded feeds, balances of feed for sustainable production management, fish nutrition focused on tilapia, and tilapia feeding regimens.
The seminars were attended by more than 110 progressive fish farmers, fishery department officials, extension staff, members of academia, students, feed millers and traders.
