Dear Friends,
Three more considerations:
-The fish that will be captured food is not supplied 24 hours before the
crop. Like this, the fish eliminates your intestinal content avoiding death
in the transport, death in the purification tank and also the weight loss in
the purification.
Working in that way, we don't have representative weight loss in these 3
days.
-The one that happens is that on those three days the fish will STOP
INCREASING 4 grams a day, as if it was usually being fed.
-Salt, only for to prevent infections during purification. Used in first
day of purification.
Regards,
