sec.133 How total volume must be measured
This section provides for how a total volume of fish must be measured. The volume of fish that are in a container ( contained fish ) must be measured by reference to the volume of the container when it is empty. An empty container with internal dimensions of 571mm x 381mm x 305mm, commonly called a ‘lug basket’, has a volume of approximately 66L. An empty container with internal dimensions of 605mm x 280mm x 90mm, commonly called a ‘prawn carton’, has a volume of approximately 15L. For subsection (2) , a fish is not a contained fish if any part of it protrudes above the top of the container. The volume of any of the fish that are not contained fish ( uncontained fish ) must be measured by— placing them in a container or containers so that no part of any of the fish protrudes above the top of the container or containers; and measuring the volume of each container when it is empty; and referring to the volume of the container or containers. The total volume of fish is worked out by adding together the volume of all of the contained and uncontained fish. (sec.133-ssec.1) This section provides for how a total volume of fish must be measured. (sec.133-ssec.2) The volume of fish that are in a container ( contained fish ) must be measured by reference to the volume of the container when it is empty.

(sec.133-ssec.4) The volume of any of the fish that are not contained fish ( uncontained fish ) must be measured by— placing them in a container or containers so that no part of any of the fish protrudes above the top of the container or containers; and measuring the volume of each container when it is empty; and referring to the volume of the container or containers. (sec.133-ssec.5) The total volume of fish is worked out by adding together the volume of all of the contained and uncontained fish.
