DESCRIZIONE
The invention relates to a fish slaughter device (1) and to a trigger device (2) configured for same. A fish slaughter device (1) comprises a fish positioning device (13) with a fish head stop element (3), against which the head of a fish to be slaughtered is placed in a temporary stop position in front of a controllable fish slaughter tool (12). The fish head stop element (3) is a trigger element (22) - which can be released by means of a trigger sensor device (9) - of a controllable trigger device (2) that can be controlled according to the size of the fish in order to move the fish head stop element (3) into difference trigger positions. The trigger device (2) comprises a first control actuator (4) with a first actuator element (41), a coupling means (6) which connects the fish head stop element (3) to the first actuator element (41) for fish-size-dependent adjustment movement into the trigger positions, and an additional second control actuator (5) with a second actuator element (51) which can be placed in at least two fixed trigger adjustment positions (EP1, EP2) in a controllable manner. The two actuator elements (41, 51) are arranged such that they can be coupled in such a way that an adjusting movement of the first actuator element (41) is stopped by means of a coupling impact against the second actuator element (51) placed in one of its fixed trigger adjustment positions (EP1, EP2), and an associated trigger position (TP1, TP2) of the fish head stop element (3) is thereby brought about.
