Abstract
The invention relates to a homogeneous high-fat food provided in the form of food flakes, to a method for producing the same and to the use thereof for promoting the growth, the ingestion of food, and the condition of freshwater and saltwater fish and invertebrates. The inventive food flakes are used to improve resistance to stress, to prevent losses due to unfavorable keeping conditions such as high temperatures in the summer and low temperatures in the winter when keeping pond fish, and to reduce nitrogen and phosphorous excretion which promotes algae growth.
