During May 1984 the Authority received advice of approval of a FIRTA grant of $45,000 for the purchase of three Kronborg Skami Herring grading machines so that their suitability for grading Redfish could be assessed.
The objectives of the proposal were:
- To operate each of the grading machines to determine: whether or not both machines would efficiently grade Redfish on a commercial basis; which type of machine is most efficient; and if the dearer equipment is most efficient, then is its additional capital cost warranted?
- To increase the financial return to fishermen from Redfish by enabling them to efficiently grade their catches of Redfish.
- Enable the development of standard grades for Redfish.
- Enable Redfish to be more effectively promoted on the domestic and export markets.
