Fish pump - Fish pump (English spelling)

Japanese: フィッシュポンプ - ふぃっしゅぽんぷ(英語表記)fish pump
Fish pump - Fish pump (English spelling)
A device that sucks up fish and other fish with water and transports them. It was developed in the United States in the 1940s and was successful in unloading raw sardines and herring from canneries from ships, and then came to be used to transfer fish caught in nets at sea to the holds of ships. Both types use vacuum pumps, and water is separated as needed and discarded or returned. The fresher the fish, the less water is required. Subsequent improvements have made it possible to transport fish up to about 90 cm in length at a speed of 2 to 12 tons/min.

魚などを水とともに吸いあげて移送する装置。アメリカで1940年代に,缶詰工場の原魚のイワシやニシンを船から陸揚げするために開発されて成功をおさめ,次いで,海上で網に入った漁獲物を船倉に移すのにも使われるようになった。いずれも真空ポンプ型で,水は必要に応じて分離し,捨てたり元に戻す。新鮮なものほど水の量は少なくてよい。その後の改良により体長90cm程度のものまで,2~12t/minの速度で移送が可能となった。
