What you're saying makes sense.  When we were teen-agers, we could 
survive on fat-burgers(or puppies on puppy chow)--as we got full-grown 
(I'm not admitting my age but I bet you couldn't be that much older than 
I am, if you are) our diets had to lighten up some (just as Purina makes 
food for older dogs).  I'd be willing to bet (not very much) that the 
nutritional requirements of fish change in similar manners to people and 
dogs.
