Abstract

An automatic fish feeder and orientor has a framework with top rails upon which are pivotally mounted spaced pairs of supports. A reciprocal feed table overlies and is pivotally mounted on the supports. A reciprocal feed plate is spaced below the table and is pivotally connected to the lower ends of the supports. A fish receiver is mounted upon the table and terminates at one end in a fish outlet. A fish delivery channel is mounted along the feed plate. A chute at one end communicates with the receiver outlet and at its other end, communicates with the delivery channel. Gill engaging supports are mounted within the receiver and channel for intermittently feeding the fish head first in one direction, through the outlet and chute and along the delivery channel. A power drive reciprocates the feed plate and connected table, moving them in opposite directions.
