Abstract

Automated fish feeding system has been developed to overcome feed waste and water pollution problems. However, typical existing automatic fish feeding system is relatively high cost in maintenance, high energy consumption and has limited pond access area. This paper proposes a novel automated fish feeding system that combines feed dispensing and distribution as one process. A motor driven natural fiber cable is utilized to deliver top hung feeder for feeding process. Such method gives free access around the pond and able to deliver the feeder at any form of fish farm layout. In addition, it has relatively lower structure maintenance cost. The reliability test result showed the feeder positioning accuracy in average was between -1.33 mm backward and 1.83 mm forward. The accuracy was influenced by the cable tension.
