An apparatus includes a pressing device that elastically presses the abdomen of fish body which has been decapitated and which is conveyed in a downstream conveying direction, from the vicinity of a tail of the fish body to a neck thereof. The pressing device is both flexible and elastic and is rotated and driven about a rotary axis. Thereby, ovaries are removed from the abdominal cavity of the fish body. Since the pressing device is rotated and driven about the rotary axis, the abdomen of the fish body conveyed in the downstream conveying direction can be continuously pressed from the tail to the neck. Since the pressing device is flexible and elastic, it does not press the fish body with an excessively large force, and the ovaries can be removed smoothly from the abdominal cavity without destroying the fish body. Thereby, a roe collecting operation can be conducted continuously by disposing fish bodies closely adjacent each other in the conveying direction, and the efficiency of the roe collecting operation can be enhanced.
