Holding tank volume | |
---|---|
At the start of fishing | Measure the width and length of the holding tank (if the tank is not rectangular in shape, then additional measurements may be required; precision ±0,05 m) |
Every montha | Estimate the volume-to-mass conversion derived from the drained mass of krill in a known volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the holding tank |
Every haul | Measure the depth of krill in the tank (if krill are held in the tank between hauls, then measure the difference in depth; precision ±0,1 m) |
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation) | |
Flow metera | |
Prior to fishing | Ensure that the flow meter is measuring whole krill (i.e. prior to processing) |
More than once per montha | Estimate the volume-to-mass conversion (ρ) derived from the drained mass of krill in a known volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the flow meter |
Every haulb | Obtain a sample from the flow meter and: |
measure the volume (e.g. 10 litres) of krill and water combined | |
estimate the flow meter volume correction derived from the drained volume of krill | |
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation) | |
Flow meterb | |
Prior to fishing | Ensure that both flow meters (one for the krill product and one for the water added) are calibrated (i.e. show the same, correct reading) |
Every weeka | Estimate the density (ρ) of the krill product (ground krill paste) by measuring the mass of a known volume of krill product (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the corresponding flow meter |
Every haulb | Read both flow meters, and calculate the total volumes of the krill product (ground krill paste) and that of the water added; density of the water is assumed to be 1 kg/litre |
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation) | |
Flow scale | |
Prior to fishing | Ensure that the flow scale is measuring whole krill (i.e. prior to processing) |
Every haulb | Obtain a sample from the flow scale and: |
measure the mass of krill and water combined | |
estimate the flow scale mass correction derived from the drained mass of krill | |
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation) | |
Plate tray | |
Prior to fishing | Measure the mass of the tray (if trays vary in design, then measure the mass of each type; precision ±0,1 kg) |
Every haul | Measure the mass of krill and tray combined (precision ±0,1 kg) |
Count the number of trays used (if trays vary in design, then count the number of trays of each type) | |
Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation) | |
Meal conversion | |
Every montha | Estimate the meal to whole krill conversion by processing 1 000 to 5 000 kg (drained mass) of whole krill |

Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation) | |
Codend volume | |
At the start of fishing | Measure the width and height of the codend (precision ±0,1 m) |
Every montha | Estimate the volume-to-mass conversion derived from the drained mass of krill in a known volume (e.g. 10 litres) taken from the codend |
