<![CDATA[Feed is the main factor that determines the success of fish farming because it affects growth, health, and production efficiency. The application of the concept of balanced nutrition in feed formulation is important to meet the nutritional needs of fish according to their species and growth phases. This article aims to examine the concept of balanced nutrition in the formulation of farmed fish feed through a literature review method with a descriptive approach. The literature is obtained from national and international scientific articles published in 2021–2025 through Google Scholar, Open Journal System (OJS), ScienceDirect, and Crossref. The results of the study show that the balance of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, essential amino acids, and essential fatty acids plays an important role in increasing growth, feed utilization efficiency, immune system, and fish survival. In addition, the use of alternative feed ingredients based on agricultural waste, fishery by-products, and aquatic plants has the potential to reduce production costs if formulated according to the nutritional needs of fish. The application of the concept of balanced nutrition supported by the use of local raw materials is an important strategy in increasing the productivity and sustainability of fish farming.]]>
