ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for collecting roe has a conveyor which grips decapitated fish bodies in a lying position, with the tails of the fish bodies set in one common direction. A plurality of projections are provided on the conveyor for holding the fish bodies in this position. The abdomens of the fish bodies are directed downstream with respect to the conveying direction. A roe collector is provided adjacent the conveyor. A collecting member abuts against the abdomens of the fish bodies as the fish bodies are conveyed by the fish body conveyor. This collecting member rotates and is driven about a rotational axis which extends in a direction crossing with the conveying direction. The collecting member is further thrust elastically upstream in the conveying direction to contact the tail ends of the fish bodies. The decapitated fish bodies are thereby conveyed by the conveyor in a fixed position due to the holding projections. The roe collector abuts against the abdomens of the fish bodies while the fish bodies are conveyed along the conveying path, and the abdomens of the fish bodies are elastically pressed upstream while the collecting member rotates to push out the ovaries of the abdominal cavity of the fish body.
