- fish having a lower K factor than 0.80 may be directed to e.g. the first processing station 2 and fish having a higher K factor than 1.60 may be directed to e.g. the fifth processing station 2.
- Other variations are possible as well, which will be apparent to a skilled person.
- the processing stations 2 may be followed by further processing stations 32, to which the fish are delivered by further conveyors 36 (shown only for one of the processing stations 2).
- Such a further processing station 32 may for example be a filleting machine in case the first processing station 2 is a gutting machine.

- various length dimensions L which are indicative of the length of an item such as a fish can be used in connection with the invention.
- the length Ll from nose to tail of the fish may be used.
- the length L2 along the lower (or upper) part of the fish may possibly be used, if this is found expedient, for example in view of the measuring or detecting means used in the system.
- the length L3 from the nose of the fish to the root of the tail may be used. It will be apparent that other length dimension that may not necessarily be measured along a straight line may be used as the characteristic length dimension in connection with the invention.
