The invention pertains to an apparatus for gutting fish which serves for preventing flaws that reduce the quality e.g., colon and blood residues or damage to the walls of the abdominal cavity, and for attaining a highly aesthetic product. The invention proposes that the rectum is initially supported by inserting an element through the anus in order to separate the rectum within the region of the anus, and that the lateral and dorsal connections between the rectum and the abdominal walls are subsequently separated.

Method and apparatus for gutting fish

In an apparatus for dividing fish fillets of the type as shwon e.g. in German Patent 36 23 002 there is used a sorting device, the aim of which is to sort automatically fillet pieces gained under the aspect of predetermined geometric or volumetric properties. To this end, a connecting conveyor is arranged downstream of a belt conveyor of the dividing device leaving a space therewith, in which space is installed a set of flap elements which can be swivelled about a common axis by single activation. In their activated position these function as a transfer chute between the said conveyors, whereas, in their rest position, there remains a discharge shaft downstream of the belt conveyor of the dividing device. The selection of the flap elements to be activated occurs in accordance with a predetermined programme, which makes said selection in accordance with the respective cutting position of the cutting elements of the dividing device and, if necessary, controls these elements with respect to the time parameters.
