FREMGANGSMAATE OG INNRETNING TIL RENSING AV FISK

A process and apparatus are described for eviscerating undeheaded fish, in particular farmed fish such as trout. Characteristics of the process are that the fish are transported during this process with the tail first in longitudinally arranged transport troughs and the processing is carried out in the sequential processing stages: Slitting the abdominal cavity from the anus to the area of the gill cavity, spreading open the abdominal skin flaps and tearing open the bloodstream, collecting and sucking out the viscera and tearing out the gullet in the mouth cavity region, optionally with removal of the gills. For correct carrying out of this process the cutting tool for slitting the abdominal cavity is provided with side knife blades, which separate the intestine at the anus and the suction jet is designed as a clamp mechanism, in order to tear out the gullet.
