It requires sampling, side‑angle video of transfers reviewed by farm and AFMA personnel, and calculation of total weight from the sample average and fish count. The aim is accurate stock measurement for quota enforcement and to prevent transfer/harvest disputes."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2018","history":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2018/history","analysis":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2018/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2018/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2018/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2018/documents"}}
