The term "sinking fish feed" describes a particular kind of food made to sink in water and meet the dietary requirements of fish species that typically feed near the bottom of the water column. It supports the aquaculture industry's objective of creating sustainable and high-quality seafood products by providing vital nutrients for the growth, health, and development of farmed fish. Solid feed pellets, called sinking feeds, are immersed when applied. A sinking pellet won't dissolve and will remain solid in water for several hours. A sinking meal really has a density higher than water (1 g/cm3).
