ABSTRACT:
A table for distributing fish which has a fish stunning apparatus is provided. The table includes a reservoir for holding a fish and water, an inlet for introducing fish into the reservoir and a stationary weir on a side of the reservoir. A water flow device adds water to the reservoir in order to allow fish to pass over the weir. The water flow device is oriented relative to the weir to introduce water in a direction away from the weir in order to generate a water current within the reservoir into which the fish will swim aligning themselves head first toward the weir. A slide is provided downstream of the weir to distribute fish after they pass over the weir and direct the fish into a stunning apparatus.
