Feeding of use of dry feed with respect to live feed use. Live feed carries a cost related to the culture and production of good quality organisms for feeding the larvae. In addition to the practical cost of this production, the process is more liable to variations in quality and in some cases market availability as well as being a potential source of bacterial loading. Dry feeds on the other hand should be of more consistent quality and are much easier to handle and manage and this has resulted into considerable effort being applied to reduce the use of live feed, particularly Artemia replacement, wherever possible and as much as possible.
