A systematic literature review of the major factors causing yield gap by affecting growth, feed conversion ratio and survival in Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) (2020, background): “Both primary determinants of FCR at the production unit level, mortality and individual differences between fish in converting feed to biomass, are strongly influenced by the environment (de Verdal et al. 2018).”
Achieving sustainable aquaculture: Historical and current perspectives and future needs and challenges (2020, background): “…amount of feed, is essential to achieve an enhancement of the sustainability of fish production, as feed is a major economic cost, accounting for 30–70% of total production costs (de Verdal et al., 2018), and a key environmental issue of fish production (Cashion, Le Manach, Zeller, & Pauly, 2017).”
