Example 3 – describe multiple
products

Example 4 – describe an
unlisted, ancillary product

Pollock made into primary product,
minced
Pollock made into primary product,
fillets and ancillary product, roe
Starting with 100 mt of pollock -90 mt were processed
[into 13.5 mt deep skin fillets
and 2.7 mt roe]
10 mt small and damaged pollock
were processed into meal along
with 73.8 mt pollock parts
12% (10/83.8) of the meal =
1.68 mt is primary
88% (73.8/83.8) of the meal =
12.32 mt is ancillary
