56 Conversion factors for greenweight of fish
(1) Except where otherwise expressly provided, a reference in this Act
or in an instrument of a legislative or administrative character made
under it to the weight of fish or aquatic life shall be construed as a
reference to the greenweight of the fish or aquatic life, being the
weight of the fish or aquatic life before any processing (other than
freezing) commences and before any part of the fish or aquatic life
is removed.
(2) The Minister may, by notice in the Gazette, specify conversion
factors which shall, for all purposes and in any proceedings for an
offence against this Act, be used to determine the greenweight of
fish or aquatic life.
