The study investigated the effect of feeding frequency on the growth, feed conversion ratio (FCR), survival rate, and net yield of seabass (Lates calcarifer) fingerlings reared in floating net cages. Results demonstrated that feeding frequency significantly impacted all production parameters and size frequency distribution, except for the survival rate, with the optimal growth and net yield observed when feeding occurred twice per day. Despite no significant differences between the FCR values for various feeding frequencies, a more efficient consumption and lower FCR were linked to feeding the seabass twice daily, suggesting this regimen is optimal, although high salinity conditions did limit overall growth compared to other studies.
