Threshold percentage of saucer scallops
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.
