Abstract
A system for processing fish of different anatomic constitution where the fish (22) having at least an end waste part (23, 24), a body part (26) and a transition (30) between the end waste part and the body part. The system comprising a frame including a fish loading area (18) for receiving the fish and a fish unloading area (52), an optical measurement unit (36) monitoring at least part of the fish loading area for producing a digital representation of the fish, a grabbing unit (40) mounted on the frame downstream in relation to the optical measurement unit for collecting the fish from the fish loading area and placing the fish on the fish unloading area, a processing unit for receiving the digital representation of the fish, determining the transition between the end waste part and the body part of the fish and a separation arrangement for separating the end waste part from the body part at the transition.
