Abstract

Simple methods for huchen start feeding and rearing fry using live, fresh, and dry feeds were tested. Aggressive behavior was observed when live zooplankton was used as feed. Cannibalism can be controlled easily with frequent or continuous, automatic feeding. These methods can be used easily by non-professional enthusiasts involved in active protection activities for huchen.
