Labelling of auction lots and Sales table livestock (BLA sales table only)
It is the Sellers’ responsibility to label their bags correctly and that information matches exactly what is written on the Booking Form.
All bags must be marked with the allotted Seller’s Identification Letter and the Number of that particular Lot.
For example, if the allotted auction letter is A, the first bag will be marked as A1, subsequent bags will be labelled A2, A3…… and so forth.
Correct labelling of the species, and location/collection data are extremely important. Please include the common and/or scientific name of the fish. Include any relevant information such as Catch Location, Date Collected, Collector. Mark as Aquarium Strain if no data is available. Also, the number of fish (or description) within the lot – i.e. pair, trio, 2 pairs, 10 fry etc. Lastly put a reserve price IF REQUIRED.
