Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine

Weighing of Fisheries Products: Discussion

Mr. Paschal Hayes:

No, that probably does not have an impact on quality either. As my colleague outlined, some fish are more robust than others in these circumstances. Water and fish are pumped into the tanker, the tanker goes to the weighbridge and the operator removes as much water as he or she wants to remove, while keeping in mind preserving the quality of the fish. Then it is weighed on the weighbridge and the weight of everything in the tank is recorded as fish, and therein lies the issue.
