    Default Feed rates for Barra

    Just a couple of quick questions regarding feeding Barra and I suppose any fish in general...

    1. What percentage of body weight should I use to calculate ideal fish feed rates?

    2. Does the rate change over the life of the fish, from fingerling to pan size?

    Thanks
