EXPLANATORY NOTE

This note is not part of the notice, but is intended to indicate its general effect.
The notice revokes and replaces the Fisheries (Conversion Factors) Notice 2000. The notice
specifies the factors to be applied for the purpose of converting the weight of processed fish to
greenweight (the weight of the fish before processing or the removal of any part).
The principal changes from the 2000 notice are as follows:
(a) Amended definitions for de-fat fillets, dressed, fillet skin-on, headed, gutted and tailed,
skin-off fillets, skin-off trimmed fillets, skin-on trimmed fillets, skin-on untrimmed fillets;
(b) new definitions for belly-flap, dorsal midline, epaxial line, horizontal septum, hypaxial line,
longitudinal line, pin bones, point of insertion of the fin, ventral midline and wings;
(c) the addition of a new First Schedule of illustrations to guide the definitions of various landed
states for various species;
(d) a new provision so that parasites may be removed;
(e) a new provision that in the event of an inconsistency between the words and illustrations in
the Schedule, the words prevail;
(f) the conversion factor for orange roughy dressed is increased from 2.00 to 2.10; and
(g) the new conversion factor for headed, gutted and tailed hake is 1.60.
