The Melbourne Fish Feeder is a modified Hydro-Levitator. It is a 2" unit and has a 2 ½" hose tail on the outlet and a 1" ball valve on the side. With water supplied to the unit and the ball valve open, we are supplying aerated water to the fish. You move the unit around to cover the whole of the net spreading the food evenly. When the ball valve is closed the fish pellets are sucked from below deck and thrown out into the nets. A 2" unit will throw pellets 10mm Ø x 15mm long at 1700kg/hour 55 metres into the nets.
Ready, aim, fire! Tassal salmon farm employees Dr Trevor Dix (left) and Craig O'Malley use a Melbourne Fish Feeder to blast a jet of high protein feed pellets into a 25m wide sea cage in Stringers Cove.
	The 15,000 juvenile fish swarming below the water's surface and penned in the cage, consume up to 300kg of pellets each day. The Melbourne Fish Feeder enables salmon farmers to balance the provision of enough food for the fish to gain weight, without wasting pellets and fouling the seabed beneath the cages
