There is disclosed a method for feeding fish which employs
a blower arrangement over a surface of water. The apparatus
employed to effect the projection of the feed includes a nozzle
and blower arrangement for generating a high speed stream into
which feed is introduced. The feed introduced into the air
stream is effectively carried by the air stream and discharged
through an air nozzle or discharge tube associated with the
blower. At this point of feed entry to the air stream, the
nozzle includes a venturi tube which creates a vacuum in the
nozzle assisting in the entry of feed into the air stream from
the auger tube, or other mechanism, delivering feed from a feed
bin. In order to further enhance the efficiency of the feeding,
the arrangement includes a venturi vent to permit the intake of
air in order to accelerate the feed being dispensed through the
nozzle. The method of projecting the feed is particularly
advantageous in that it can broadcast high moisture or low
moisture.
