Specify a number of ranches max size ranches to calculate the resources needed to ranch them and what products they will produce.

Specify a desired product and rate of production to calculate the needed critters and resources to feed them.

Specify a desired rate of meat production to calculate the needed critters and resources to feed them.

Specify a desired rate of seafood production to calculate the needed critters and resources to feed them.

Specify a desired rate of raw egg production to calculate the needed critters and resources to feed them.

Be sure to build extra capacity to allow for inefficiencies.
"Critter Count" and "Ranches" mode can be used to calculate based on a specified number of critters.
"Products" mode can be used to calculate the required number of ranched creatures to produce a specified non-food product.
"Meat", "Seafood", and "Raw Egg" can be used to calculated the required number of ranched critters to produce the relevant food product.
A Grooming Uptime of over 97% is very unlikely even when the dupes have nothing else to do.
Scale and molt growth is assumed to have 100% uptime. This will never happen in reality so build extra capacity.
