Charalambides and M. Menicou}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {Fish-feed is a major cost component of operating expenses for any aquaculture farm. Due to soaring prices of fish-feed ingredients, the need for better feeding schedule management has become imperative. On such factor that influences the utilization rate of fish-feed are sea currents. Up to now, practical monitoring of fishfeed loss due to sea currents is not exercised. This paper gives a description of an economic methodology that aims at quantifying the amount of fish-feed lost due to sea currents and draws on data from a Mediterranean aquaculture farm to formulate the associated model. }, journal = {International Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences}, volume = {7}, number = {3}, year = {2013}, pages = {170 - 176}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11220}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/75}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 75, 2013}, }
