ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE: A device for shifting fish into a predetermined position for decapitating depending on the size of each fish, said fish having a head with a snout and a body together defining a longitudinal fish axis, and being con- veyed by receiving troughs forming part of conveying means and running in a conveying direction. The receiving troughs are arranged to receive the fish in a position with the longitudinal fish axis essentially perpendicular to the conveying direction and having at least a bottom wall, a front face and lateral conveying shoulder means. The device comprises shifting means engaging the fish in a timed manner according to the conveying rate of said troughs and defining a shifting path, feeler means adapted to be dis- placed by the fish for detecting a value of the size of the fish, and means coupled with the feeler means for limiting the length of the shifting path according to the detected value of the size of said fish. The device further comprises a shifting element driven by said shift- ing means and having an operational face engaging said fish by its snout to shift it in a backward direction into said predetermined position, said shifting element being moved along said shifting path in such a direction and at such a rate as to accompany the fish in its conveyed movement at least during the shifting thereof, stepping motor means for driving the shifting means, and control device means for controlling said stepping motor means by processing signals produced through and received from said feeler means.
