United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport of Goods (Geneva, 24 May 1980) (5817 words) |
 | The multimodal transport operator shall be discharged from his obligation to deliver the goods if, where a negotiable multimodal transport document has been issued in a set of more than one original, he or a person acting on his behalf has in good faith delivered the goods against surrender of one of such originals. |
 | If the multimodal transport operator or a person acting on his behalf fails to note on the multimodal transport document the apparent condition of the goods, he is deemed to have noted on the multimodal transport document that the goods were in apparent good condition. |
 | The multimodal transport operator must, in addition, pay compensation for costs incurred by the claimant for the purpose of exercising his right, provided that costs incurred in the action where the foregoing provision is invoked are to be determined in accordance with the law of the State where proceedings are instituted. |
| SEED PRODUCTION (5207 words) |
 | Indeed in certain parts of the world large level of transport of commercial fish in live condition from the areas of capture to the markets is a part of a highly organized industry, but we shall confine here to the transport of brood fish and fish seed, particularly the latter for culture purposes. |
 | Transport of fish seed in earthern pots, taken either as head loads or on slings from seed collection centres to spawn* markets and to nurseries for stocking is an ancient practice in certain parts of the world. |
 | Modern developments in transport technology are from two levels; one is from an understanding, as mentioned, of internal physiological mechanisms of the fish and the optimal requirements, ensuring maximum survival of fish under transport and the other is from a study of the environmental parameters of the medium in which fish are transported. |
