GENERAL GUIDELINES TO BE FOLLOWED IN HARVESTING OF FISHES
  • Harvesting should be planned in advance, and precautions should be taken to avoid stress to the extent possible, particularly when the harvested animals are to be live- hauled to market.
  • Feeding should be discontinued at least 24 hr before harvesting, automatic feeders and other obstacles to seining should be removed, and water quality should be examined to ensure that optimum conditions are maintained.
  • Harvesting should be undertaken during the coolest part of the day to help avoid stress. Thus, harvest operations should be conducted as early in the morning as possible during warm weather.
