NOAA has promulgated (mirrored) a WHO Food and Agriculture Organization
standard here. It's an international standard and not one that NOAA
devised. That explains the double-ell before "-ing" and "-ed" and the
use of "-our" instead of "-or".
I suspect that NOAA's involvement might stem from use of satellites to
monitor fish populations and harvesters.

NOAA is involved and this touches on drained weight, but as a basis for
meeting claims of solid, chunk, etc.
