As such fish wouldn't have the usual energy loss to heat associated with warm blooded animals. An interesting website that discusses the economics of feed conversion can be found <a HREF="http://www2.luresext.edu/aquaculture/economicsoffeedconversionratios.html" rel="nofollow">here</A> here and demonstrates the relationship between feed conversion ratio and the cost of the feed itself.
