Observation steps and frequency

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 month328

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 meter328

Prior to fishing

Ensure that the flow meter is measuring whole krill (i.e. prior to processing)

More than once per month328

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 haul329

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 meter329

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 week328

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 haul329

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 haul329

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 month328

Estimate the meal to whole krill conversion by processing 1 000 to 5 000 kg (drained mass) of whole krill

Every haul

Measure the mass of meal produced

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 month328

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

Every haul

Measure the length of codend containing krill (precision ± 0,1 m)

Estimate the green weight of krill caught (using equation)

A new period will commence when the vessel moves to a new subarea or division.

Individual haul when using a conventional trawl, or integrated over a six-hour period when using the continuous fishing system.
