1 The most important step is to get the fish weighed as soon as possible on a certified scale. 2  Obtain the signatures of the scale operator and one other witness to the weighing.  Next, take the fish to a Department of Fish and Wildlife office for verification.
Saved by a pair of scissors left on the scales: The premature baby doctors decided to save because she weighed just enough. 1  Maddalena Douse, from Lewes, East Sussex, was born at just 23 weeks. 2  Doctors were unsure whether she would survive, or whether they should try and save her.
Premature babies born between 34 and 37 weeks gestation aren't likely to be much lighter than full-term babies, but those born at 32 weeks gestation or earlier won't have had the chance to develop much body fat, so they appear fragile and may weigh as little as 1 pound.
