Feeding frequency and feed intake in the African catfish Clarias gariepinus (Burchell 1822)
Triplicate groups of subadult catfish (Clarias gariepinus; 102.18+/-30.48 g) were fed a purified diet to satiation twice or three times a day during the daylight hours for 26 days. Fish fed twice a day consumed 1.42+/-0.49% of their body weight per day. Those fed three times a day consumed 1.27+/-0....
