METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR KILLING AQUATIC ANIMALS

摘要

An apparatus and method for killing fish, which allows the fish to be killed when in an unstressed state to ensure that excess adrenaline is not released before death to spoil the texture of the flesh. The apparatus includes a chamber (40) in which the presence of a live fish, when sensed by a sensor (18), initiates a sequence of operations comprising the stunning, killing and bleeding of the fish.
