The present invention relates to a conveying and distributing apparatus for delivering fish slaughtered by means of a plurality of slaughtering machines to at least one distributing device, comprising longitudinal conveyors downstream of each of the slaughtering machines, which are configured to receive the slaughtered fish longitudinally in a head to tail orientation, wherein each of the longitudinal conveyors comprises a weighing device for detecting the weight of the slaughtered fish, at least one first transfer device is arranged on each of the longitudinal conveyors, which are designed and configured to transfer the slaughtered fish to at least one transverse conveyor, wherein the at least one transverse conveyor is adapted to receive the slaughtered fish transversely with respect to the head to tail orientation, a feed device arranged on the end of the transverse conveyor, which is designed and configured to remove the slaughtered fish from the transverse conveyor and to feed the same to a distributing device, and a control device, wherein the control device comprises a position tracking means for tracking the respective positions of slaughtered fish and an allocation means for allocating the detected weights to the respective tracked positions of the slaughtered fish, and wherein the control device is designed and configured to control the distributing device on the basis of the detected weights when the slaughtered fish enter the distributing device according to a predefined distribution rule. The invention further relates to a corresponding arrangement and a corresponding method.
