Abstract
A method for processing a live fish can include: determining a set of fish attributes of a fish, optionally sorting the fish based on the set of fish attributes, euthanizing the fish, exsanguinating the fish, and/or any other suitable steps. In variants, the method can additionally or alternatively include: discarding the fish after sorting, further processing the fish, and/or tracking the fish. However, the method can additionally and/or alternatively include any other suitable elements.
Claims20
A method comprising, within a fish processing device:
- a) receiving a live fish;
- b) restraining the live fish with a restraint subsystem;
- c) contemporaneously with restraining the live fish, collecting a set of imagery, comprising imaging the fish through the restraint subsystem;
- d) using a set of euthanasia models, planning a euthanasia trajectory based on the set of imagery;
- e) controlling a set of euthanasia tools to euthanize the fish based on the euthanasia trajectory.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- collecting a set of imagery of a live fish;
- with a first set of trained models, automatically planning a euthanasia trajectory based on the set of imagery;
- controlling a euthanasia tool of a fish processing device to euthanize the live fish based on the euthanasia trajectory;
- with a second set of trained models, automatically planning an exsanguination trajectory based on the set of imagery;
- and
- controlling a set of exsanguination tools of the fish processing device to exsanguinate the euthanized fish based on the exsanguination trajectory.
