An apparatus and a method for moving live fish from a fish tank (1) to outside of the fish tank (1) The tank has water-impenetrable bottom and sidewalls and is floatable in a body of water. It has a water outlet (6a) from the tank (1) and a water inlet (12a) to the tank (1). The inlet is coupled to a fish removal tube (12), which at an opposite end is coupled to a fish receptacle (14) above the surface (13) of the body of water. The tube (12) has a fresh water inlet (9a) supplying water through the tube (12) and into the tank (1), thereby creating a flow against which fish is invited to swim. The tank has lifting means lifting the tank (1) upwards in the body of water while letting water inside the tank (1) flow out of the tank (1).

Method and device for taking up fish from a body of water
A method for taking fish up from a body of water comprising the steps of providing a duct (14) having a lower open end below the water surface and an upper open end arranged at a floating working platform (5) above sea level; introducing water into the duct (14) from the upper open end to give a water stream from the upper open end of the duct to the lower open end of the duct; and allowing the fish to swim up in the duct against the water stream therein. The incoming water is directed to flow into the duct, and the fish is separated from the flowing by means of a grating (16) inclining upwards from the top end of the duct to a separation plate (17) arranged above the water level in the duct. A device for taking up fish, using the mentioned method is also described.
