6 Manner of carrying out transfer weighing
(1) For the purposes of subsection 22B.2 of the Plan, a transfer weighing of fish is to be carried out in the following manner: (a) at least 100 fish that weigh 10 kilograms or more must be taken from the tow cage and the average weight of those fish must be determined to 2 decimal places; (b) a video recording must be made of each transfer of the fish from the tow cage to the farm; (c) the video must depict a side view covering the opening between the tow cage and the farm in order that all southern bluefin tuna transferred will appear on the video recording; (d) once all the transfers from that tow cage are complete, a farm representative and AFMA or an Agent of AFMA must view the recordings and tally the number of fish transferred. (2) The weight of fish in the transfer weighing is determined by multiplying the average weight determined under paragraph 6(1)(a) by the number of fish in the tow cage as determined under paragraph 6(1)(d).
