Understanding FCR

Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) is the single most important metric in aquaculture profitability.

๐Ÿ“

What is FCR?

FCR = Total Feed Given (kg) รท Total Weight Gain (kg). A lower FCR means your feed is converting to biomass more efficiently - reducing feed costs per kg of harvest.

Why FCR Matters

Feed accounts for 60โ€“70% of aquaculture production costs. Reducing FCR from 1.8 to 1.5 on a 5,000kg harvest cycle saves 1,500 kg of feed - potentially โ‚น90,000+ in savings.
