摘要

A feed spreader 10 for use in a fish pen, including a base portion 12 provided on a buoyant structure, and an impeller 16 rotatably mounted to the base portion 12. The impeller 16 is rotatable about an approximately vertical axis Y-Y when the spreader 10 is in an in-use orientation. The base portion 12 includes a fluid flow path 26 extending between a fluid inlet 28 and a fluid outlet 30. The fluid inlet 28 is for receiving fluid flow from a fluid source. The fluid outlet 30 is directed at the impeller 16, such that, in use, fluid exiting the fluid outlet 30 does so with sufficient pressure to cause the impeller 16 to rotate relative to the base portion 12. A feed nozzle 34 is provided, having a feed flow path extending between a nozzle inlet 36 and a nozzle outlet 38. The nozzle inlet 36 is for receiving feed from a feed supply; and the nozzle outlet 38 is provided for directing feed outwardly from the nozzle 34 and into the fish pen. The nozzle 34 is connected to the impeller 16, such that rotation of the impeller 16 about the approximately vertical axis Y-Y causes the nozzle 34 to rotate about the approximately vertical axis Y-Y.
