Aquaculture feeders are devices designed to dispense feed to fish and other aquatic animals in a controlled manner. These systems can be automatic, semi-automatic, or manual, with the most common being automatic feeders, which release a set amount of feed at predetermined intervals. The feeders are typically programmed to adjust the quantity and timing of the feed based on the size, age, and species of the animals being farmed. They operate through various mechanisms such as conveyor belts, rotating drums, or air blowers, ensuring a steady and even distribution of feed across the water.
