Abstract
The fish transfer mechanism in which a fish slides down a smooth inclined plate and engages an upright protruding rotation pin. The head end of a fish rides up on a head guide. The rotation pin and the effect of gravity tends to rotate the fish from its transverse orientation to a longitudinal orientation while the fish head guide twists the fish toward an upright, vertical, belly down condition with the fish facing forward and ready to be cleaned by the fish gutter.
