FIELD: fish industry. SUBSTANCE: fish processing machine has conveyor and feeding device mounted above conveyor and provided with rotary gripping sprocket-shaped member, which is driven in synchronism with conveyor. Gripping units rotating above fixed supporting surface are secured on sprocket-shaped member in such a way, that fishes introduced into chambers are subjected to the action of force directed outward or inward depending on direction of rotation. Inward or outward force provides precise positioning of fishes due to abutment of fish head portion against stop till it is delivered on conveyor. EFFECT: increased capacity and efficient feeding of fishes without resorting to additional loading. 3 cl, 2 dwg
