ABSTRACT:
An automatic fish feeding system with a first feeder mounted on a first tank holding water and a school of fish and a second feeder mounted on a second tank holding water and a school of fish. Each of the feeders has a container for holding a supply of food and an electric motor for driving a food discharge conveyor for feeding food from the container into a tank. A control system for the feeders includes a power supply, a control center and a power lead connected to a station at each feeder. The control center, for a preselected time period, continuously distributes a first voltage to the station for each feeder and intermittently distributes a second voltage to the station for each feeder. The system has a power connection from the electric motor of the first feeder to the adjacent station, a power connection from the electric motor of the second and other feeders to adjacent stations. Each station has a switch for independently connecting the power connection to one of the first voltage and the second voltage.
