Lumpfish must be weighed in the landing port at landing
When weighing lumpfish roes, the gross weight of the catch should be recorded and the number of barrels or tubs recorded.
For the conversion of landed lumpfish roes into whole lumpfish, the multiplication factor used is 3,4 minus the weight of barrels/tubs.
All male lumpfish should be weighed and recorded in GAFL.
All cod and saithe roes must be collected and brought to shore.
All cod liver, as well as all saithe, ling, tusk and monkfish liver, must be brought to shore
It is important that all marine mammals and birds that come in the lumpfish net are recorded in the catch logbook.
Buyers of lumpfish
Buyers of lumpfish are required to submit weighing and disposal reports (VOR reports), which contain information on the disposal of whelk and roe.
