ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment of the fish cage, a plurality of hollow plastic tubular members form an open lattice, bouyant, frame which normally floats in water. A net assembly is carried in the interior of the frame and a removable net top is secured by spring hooks over the open upper portion of the frame. One end of the net assembly is provided with an inwardly converging, funnel-like fish inlet and the other end of the net assembly, with an outwardly converging, funnel-like fish outlet. Thus, fish have free access to bait in the net assembly by swimming through the fish inlet and can freely depart through the fish outlet, except when the outlet is folded to a closed condition. Tie wraps hold the net assembly to the frame. In the other embodiment the frame is rectangular and the net assembly hangs pendant therefrom. Each fish cage has a demand feeder. A plurality of the cages are secured in tandem on a continuous conveyor for moving the cages successively through a treatment lock and a food replenishing zone.
