Due to soaring prices of fishfeed ingredients, the need for better feeding schedule management has become imperative. On such factor that influences the utilization rate of fishfeed are sea currents. Up to now, practical monitoring of fishfeed loss due to sea currents is not exercised. This paper gives a description of an economic methodology that aims at quantifying the amount of fishfeed lost due to sea currents and draws on data from a Mediterranean aquaculture farm to formulate the associated model. </abstract> <index>Open Science Index 75, 2013</index> </article>
