Daily feeding patterns and self‐selection of dietary oil in Nile tilapia

The e⁄ciency of food utilization is high in farmed ¢sh, because feed quality and quantity and the timing of its distribution are optimized to meet the metabolic requirements. Fish feed rhythmically, consuming meals at speci¢c times during the day or night (Madrid, Boujard & SaŁ nchez-VaŁ zquez 2001), although their circadian rhythm is more £exible than higher vertebrates, with interspeci¢c and even intraspeci¢c diierences (Oishi 1991).
