ABSTRACT:
Methods for stimulating or enhancing feeding of herbivorous fish are disclosed comprising presenting the fish with an edible composition comprising a stimulatory amount of at least one of aspartic acid, glutamic acid or citric acid. In accordance with a preferred embodiment, preference spectra of herbivorous fish are determined and used to tailor feeding materials for improved, stimulated or enhanced feeding.
