Innovative demand feeding device using a light sensor

Demand feeding is a new feeding method by which fish can feed themselves. When fish require food, they switch on the feeding device. This method has several advantages, because the fish can eat feed, when they are most motivated to feed. Therefore, this method can thus minimize feed loss and reduce...

During experiments, I noticed that we can use a light sensor (an infrared light beam sensor) instead of a switch (a small target). It means when the fish come to a location of a sensor, they interrupt a light beam. If the device is switched on by the interrupting light beams by the fish, the new device will work more smoothly for feeding themselves. We already made a prototype feeding devise using a light sensor. Fish could switch on more easily than the commercialized device. 2012 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://irep.iium.edu.my/27394/1/11-1-2012_demand_feeding.pdf Mukai, Yukinori and Tan, Nai Han and Liau , Chung Fan (2012) Innovative demand feeding device using a light sensor.
