2 An empty container with internal dimensions of 605mm x 280mm x 90mm, commonly called a 'prawn carton', has a capacity of approximately 0.0153m3.
(3) For subsection (2), a fish is not a contained fish if any part of it protrudes above the top of the container.
(4) The volume of any of the fish that are not contained fish (uncontained fish) must be measured by--
(a) placing them in a container or containers so that no part of any of the fish protrudes above the top of the container or containers; and
(b) measuring the volume of each container when it is empty; and
