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.
If your baby weighs less than 5 1/2 pounds when he is born, he is considered premature. His body is not quite ready to adjust to life in the outside world so he is placed in an incubator, if this is necessary. Temperature and humidity are carefully controlled in the incubator and extra oxygen is supplied if needed.
