Operators must sample fish, video the transfer, jointly verify counts from the footage, and calculate total weight by multiplying the sampled average by the verified number of fish to ensure accurate biomass reporting for quota management."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2022","history":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2022/history","analysis":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2022/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2022/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2022/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/southern-bluefin-tuna-fishery-transfer-weighing-determination-2022/documents"}}
