Nutrients (such as N, P. K) are important for the increase in net primary production which will be used by the consumers for growth and reproduction. In an aquaculture pond, why is it disadvantageous to exceed the saturation levels of fish feed (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins) for the growth of aquaculture fishes. What are effects of this activity in the aquatic environment and organisms. Discuss in light of the lecture made earlier about productivity and nutrient cycling?

To determine the metabolizable energy (ME) of a petfood, I can use Modified Atwater Values (3.5, 3.5 and 8.5 Kcal/kg for NFE, protein and fat, respectively). Below is my petfood label. Calcluate the ME for the label in Kcal/kg. Moisture = 10% Protein = 28% Fat = 14% Ash = 4% Fiber = 4%
