Entering Lots:
Don’t forget to pack 8 bags per foam box and number them from 1-8. This will ensure our auction steward will select lots in the correct order so that equity in our auction process can be achieved. There will be a 2 stage scrutineering process adopted at this auction. Your bags will be checked and their contents scrutinised for correct identification and health of the fish. Due to their special needs large fish are not to be placed in buckets but should be double bagged in suitable large bags and fish known to be aggressive in nature bagged individually. In the second stage your paperwork will be checked off and your fish moved to the holding area.
Please help us out and ensure that all ‘book in’ sheets are completed using both the scientific and common names (you may access a species list from our Website. Although the site is a work in progress the species list there may assist you with this task). This allows your fish to be entered into the database and if available a photo will be displayed. This is important not only for the sellers but also for the buyers wanting to see what a fish typically looks like.
Time will be saved if the correct procedures are taken from the start, otherwise you will have to correct the problem before the lots will be accepted and this may delay the start of the auction. The welfare of the livestock is paramount for the club, remembering that we would like the best conditions possible over a day that may see the fish bagged for 15 hours or more.
Remember if you are selling fish please do not feed them 24-48 hours before bagging them. Also remember to add some Prime or an equivalent and if at all possible please use O2.
Tape over labels on bags with wide clear tape and add lot number with permanent marker.
Mulitiple bags to be placed inside a larger bag or securely taped around as well as across from the top to bottom of bags using wide clear tape ..not household sticky tape.
