Abstract
SummaryApplied research into carp‐deheading yield indicated that the V‐cut with two circular knives averaged 77.9%; the V‐cut with one cup‐type knife – 75.6%, and the straight cut at a 79° angle to the fish backbone – 77.4%. The yield averages for deheaded and gutted carp were 63.6%, 62.4% and 62.9%, respectively. Standard analysis of variance demonstrated that there were no statistically significant differences between the mean yields of these three deheading systems. Furthermore, the potential influence of the fish‐orientation system in close connection with the cutting systems on the deheading yield was analysed. This indicated that, with the same yields, the straight‐cutting system simplifies the precise orientation of the fish in relation to the cutting knives.
