sec.135 Threshold percentage of saucer scallops

This section provides for working out the threshold percentage of undersized scallops that are included in a quantity of saucer scallops that have been taken or possessed by a person. The threshold percentage must be worked out by— counting all of the undersized scallops and expressing the number of undersized scallops as a percentage of the total number of saucer scallops taken or possessed; or statistical sampling and testing as follows— collecting information (the sample data ) about the total number of saucer scallops taken or possessed by taking a random sample of the scallops and counting the number of undersized scallops; using the sample data and a statistical method to estimate, based on a probability of 95%, the percentage of the total number of undersized scallops taken or possessed. For subsection (2) (b) , a saucer scallop that is not whole, including, for example, a saucer scallop that is cut, dismembered, shelled or shucked, must not be counted or included in a sample. In this section— undersized scallops means saucer scallops that are less than the regulated minimum size provided for saucer scallops under a regulated fish declaration.
