The specification covers six distinct product items ranging from starter feed sizes of 0.5-0.8mm to extruded floating fish food sizes between 4.2-9.6mm, with specific nutritional requirements for each item. The fish food must be packaged in 50-55 pound bags or 2000-pound bulk bags, with nutritional content guaranteed for a minimum of twelve months when stored in cool, dry conditions.
The fish food must meet precise nutritional specifications, with most items requiring a minimum of 45% crude protein and 12% crude fat, while lower protein floating fish food must contain 32-36% protein and 6% fat. Fish meal is specified as the primary protein source to support efficient fish growth. The specification is designed to support extensive aquaculture operations at the Otter Slough Fish Hatchery, providing a comprehensive range of feed sizes and nutritional profiles to support the growth and development of various warm water fish species across different life stages.
