ABSTRACT:
A machine for processing fish, especially salmon, includes a base, a conveyor on the base for conveying fish along a longitudinal work path, a plurality of work stations for loading, locating, heading, gulleting and transferring the fish, and an indexing mechanism for sequentially moving the conveyor to feed the fish from station to station. The fish locating station is disposed upstream of the heading station and downstream of the loading station, and includes a positioning mechanism engageable within the gill slit of the fish for positioning the head of the fish at a desired location with respect to the heading station and gulleting station to provide depth control so that the fish is beheaded at the optimum location by a guillotine blade at the heading station and the gulleting tool may be inserted the appropriate depth into the fish body cavity after head removal to break the membrane that attaches the egg sack to the body of the fish without damage to the egg sack or eggs themselves.
