Abstract
A method of growing fish and crustaceans at increased conversion, growth and survival rates by feeding the fish or crustacean with a particulate foodstuff composition which includes polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) having a K-value of 15-120 to bind said foodstuff in the form of a pellet of sufficient strength and hardness in water to enable the fish or crustaceans to feed effectively on said composition during both their early and late growth stages.
