Apparatus and methods for aquaculture feeding are provided and, in particular, apparatus and methods for mixing dry feed with water to form a flowable feed composition and distributing the flowable feed composition in a fish or other aquaculture tank at multiple locations in the form of discrete extrudates. The apparatus and methods can be used to adjust properties of the extrudates to correspond to the conditions of fish in the tank and/or conditions in the tank.
