FlowFeeder Waterborne
Feeding System
Innovasea’s FlowFeeder™ is a waterborne feeding system that delivers feed to fish below the surface, regardless of rough weather and surface threats.
Feed silos
Modular hoppers store the feed.
Pellet mixer
Dry feed mixes with water so it can be pumped gently into the fish pens.
Selector valve
Directs feed to the appropriate pen.
Umbilical connector
The connection between underwater feed lines and the vessel.
Feed disperser
A choice of two proprietary dispersers distribute feed pellets into the pen at the ideal depth for the species.
aquaEyes Camera System
High definition cameras help monitor feeding activity.
Control system
Easy-to-use software provides full control of feeding operations from a tablet or PC.
Remote monitoring
Ship-to-shore connectivity enables remote monitoring of feeding activity.

Keep Growth Targets on Track
Efficient and cost-effective feeding is one of the keys to running a profitable fish farm. With feed-related expenses sometimes chewing up as much as two-thirds of a farm’s operating budget, feed conversion ratio (FCR) is often the most critical metric for a successful aquaculture operation.
Innovasea’s FlowFeeder provides a better way to feed fish stocks because it delivers intact pellets to the fish at depth, where they prefer to congregate. This prevents pellet loss at the surface and improves FCR.
Optimize Feeding Regimens and Lower Costs
FlowFeeder is a complete aquaculture feeding system that can deliver feed to multiple pens on the grid from a centralized location. Because feed is delivered underwater, it enables farm operators to feed even when faced with rough conditions or surface threats like algal blooms and sea lice.
This improves feeding regimens and helps reduce the number of lost feed days to keep growth targets on track. In addition, the waterborne delivery system requires significantly less power than air-blown systems and can reduce energy costs by more than 50 percent.
Full Visibility into Underwater Operations
But how do you keep an eye on what’s happening beneath the surface? Easy. FlowFeeder is backed by our sophisticated sensors and high-resolution cameras, which provide real-time visibility into:
- Feed satiation so you can dial in efficiency and optimize growth.
- Pellet detection so you can improve FCR and boost profits.
- Biomass data so you have an accurate inventory of your fish stocks.
It’s all part of what we call precision aquaculture – a fully integrated system that’s helping revolutionize open ocean aquaculture.
