FISH QUICK-KILL DEVICE AND QUICK-KILL METHOD FOR FISH

摘要

The present invention simultaneously performs processing for rapidly freezing a fish and processing for bleeding the fish, such processing performed easily and efficiently, and in a short time. A fish bleeding device (1) bleeds a fish (F), wherein a freezing time setting unit (12) sets a freezing time during which a fish is soaked in an ice slurry (S) that can maintain a certain prescribed temperature for a prescribed time, such setting carried out on the basis of the time from when a live fish is placed in the ice slurry for soaking, freezing is initiated, and until the heart (201) of the fish stops. A freezing unit (11) soaks and freezes the fish in the ice slurry on the basis of the freezing time set by the freezing time setting unit (12). A fish processing unit (13) cleans the fish, which has been frozen by the freezing unit, and removes the heart of the fish. A thawing unit (14) thaws the fish from which the heart has been removed by the fish processing unit.
