Episode 3: The Impossible Math of Trout Farming: FCR Explained

Can you really grow 1kg of fish using less than 500g of food? 🤯 Welcome back to the hatchery! Today, we’re diving into the "impossible" math of aquaculture: the Food Conversion Ratio (FCR). I’m showing you the exact sampling process we use at Duncton Mill to track our trout's growth—from dispersing biomass into new tanks to calculating our current 0.47 FCR. In this video, you’ll discover: • The Sampling Method: How we weigh a "community representation" without stressing the fish. • Biomass Math: Turning a 93g sample into a 43kg tank total. • The Poikilotherm Advantage: Why cold-blooded animals are the most efficient protein producers on Earth. As our trout fly from 4 tanks up to 12, the management of their environment and hygiene becomes everything.
