3 Other Definitions of Mesh size per Country
In Australia:
- (1)Mesh size, of a net that is knotted, is the average distance, when the mesh of the net is closed, between the inner edges of 2 diagonally opposite knots of 10 meshes at least 30cm from each other.
- (2)Mesh size, of a net that is knotless, is the average distance, when the mesh of the net is closed, between the inner edges of 2 diagonally opposite corners of 10 meshes at least 30cm from each other.
- (3)For this section, the mesh of a net is closed when the inner edges of 2 diagonally opposing knots or corners of the mesh are pulled by hand in opposite directions so that the sides of the mesh, when the knots or corners are pulled, are as close to touching each other as is reasonably practicable.
- (4)However, for pulling the knots or corners of the mesh under subsection (3), no more force may be used than is reasonably necessary to pull the mesh, or the material from which it is made, to its natural length.
