As you stated in a previous post (I think it was you) a few pennies difference in fish feed cost can make or break a commercial operation. Supplementing "free" duckweed for some portion of your commercial pellet feed will reduce the cost of a business owner. You are clearly focusing on the cost of the thing. There are benefits that cannot be monetized. For instance, you can buy some GMO, pesiticide laden corn for $1, let's say. You can buy the same corn, with the same protein, sugar content, etc, for $3 except this corn is not GMO, was grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and may generally be more nutritious because of trace minerals, higher content of vitamins, or whatever. Just because the protein matches up, hell even if it's the same species, it doesn't mean it's the same quality feed/food. The $1 corn is still cheaper though, sure...Originally Posted by 15mules
