Abstract

See full text

An automated fish marking system includes a conveyor system moving a set of fish trays through a marking or cutting station. In the illustrated embodiment, the trays are filled manually by several workers and subsequent marking steps are automated. Thus, fish handling is limited to filling of the trays and once the fish are placed in the trays they suffer no further handling. The trays retain the fish in a given position and orientation for movement past a water jet cutting system. The cutting system marks each fish by severing a particular fin as it passes through the marking station. After marking, the fish may be automatically returned to a holding tank.
