METHOD FOR AUTOMATIC INJECTION OF A SUBSTANCE INTO LIVING FISHES AND A DEVICE FOR SUCH INJECTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for automatic injection of compounds into living fish. The fish is fed on a transporter (1) placed in compartments (8) with each fish oriented transversely to the feeding direction. Each fish is measured with respect to size, and an injection unit (20) is adjusted for each measured fish for positioning against an injection point at the fish depending on the size of the measured fish. The injection takes place by means of an insertion movement to a chosen insertion depth by means of a cannula at the chosen insertion point on each fed fish and administering of the compound via the cannula.
