Diagram of Hoki fish

1st dorsal fin

  • Pelvic Fin
  • Pectoral fin
  • Anal fin
  • Longitudinal Axis

The body of a fish from which the head, gut and tail have been removed with:

(i) the anterior cut being a continuous straight line
passing forward of both anterior pectoral fin insertions
and both pectoral fins present

(The anterior pectoral fin insertion means
the point along the body of a fish at which the
front (anterior) edge of the pectoral fin emerges.)

However, a variation to the straight cut that recovers more of the fish is acceptable, i.e.
the processed fish is between the gutted and HGT states.
