Offshore aquaculture system

A containment system for feeding fish in an environmentally exposed aquatic site, comprising:

• a storage unit for fish feed having a single point connection and being capable of being anchored to a sea bed;
• a current and debris deflector connected to said single point connection for dampening current and waves and divert debris;
• and,
• a plurality of cages sequentially arranged and axially extending from said current deflector, said cages displaced from one another by flexible positioning means enabling said cages to move relative to one another while remaining as a unit and without contacting one another, wherein said storage unit is a self-contained centralized fish-feed storage and distribution tank suitable for use in open water, said fish-feed storage and distribution tank comprising a feed storage bin adapted to hold a supply of fish food, a mounting means for mounting said feed storage bin, a metering means for metering a supply of fish feed from said feed storage bin to a mixing chamber, a mixing chamber for receiving fish feed metered by said metering means, said mixing chamber being connected to a source of water wherein a feed slurry is formed in said mixing chamber, and a pump means operatively associated with said mixing chamber to force the slurry of fish food from said mixing chamber with pressurized water to said cages.
