# Jellyfish, live, fresh or chilled

## 1. Scope and Applicability

This PCR guides foreground data package construction for jellyfish placed on the market as live, fresh, or chilled product. It covers declared harvesting or collection, onboard sorting, draining where performed, live holding or chilled holding, landing, grading, washing where performed, packaging, icing or temperature control, dispatch, and release at the declared gate.

Covered products include edible or industrial jellyfish of declared species or species group when sold live, fresh, or chilled and still an unprocessed primary aquatic invertebrate product. Excluded products are live jellyfish for ornamental purpose, frozen jellyfish, smoked, dried, salted, brined, alum-cured, fermented, cooked, canned, prepared, preserved, extracted, or otherwise processed jellyfish products, and other aquatic invertebrates outside the jellyfish category.

The dataset must preserve the short-lived wet product state. If salting, alum treatment, drying, freezing, or other preservation changes the product identity, those processes belong to a different PCR or must be modelled as downstream processing outside this reference product.

| What | jellyfish as live, fresh, or chilled primary product |
| How much | 1 kg |
| How well | declared species or species group, live/fresh/chilled state, wet or drained mass basis, harvest area, handling condition, packaging state, and gate |
| How long or cycle | one harvest trip, landing lot, handling lot, sales lot, or reporting period normalized to marketable jellyfish output |
| reference_flow_link | Reference amount and product flow below |

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Reference amount | 1 kg |
| Reference product flow | Jellyfish, live, fresh or chilled `f60402c9-806e-430e-bc77-851e2ff4dc59` |
| Reference flow property | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` |
| Reference unit group | Units of mass `93a60a57-a4c8-11da-a746-0800200c9a66` |

When constructing a foreground data package, the items listed in `Required qualifiers` must be declared in dataset metadata, process notes, reference flow comment, product description, or an equivalent data package field.

Mass is the primary reference basis. Basket, tub, crate, sack, bin, count, volume, or trip records may be used only when net mass, tare, drainage method, product state, and sampling method are retained.

## 4. Measurement and Unit Rules

| rule_id | Applies to | Required property | Required unit | Rule |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `reference_mass` | reference product | Mass `93a60a56-a3c8-11da-a746-0800200b9a66` | kg | The reference flow must be expressed as kg jellyfish in the declared live, fresh, or chilled product form. |
| `product_state_identity` | all datasets | Product state and handling evidence | declared records | Product records must prove live, fresh, or chilled state and must not mix frozen, dried, salted, brined, alum-cured, prepared, or preserved jellyfish with the reference product. |
| `wet_drained_mass_basis` | live, fresh, chilled, washed, drained, or iced records | Mass and drainage basis | kg | Product mass must state wet whole mass, drained mass, bell mass, oral-arm mass, ice-excluded mass, or another declared basis. Convert only with measured drainage or yield evidence. |
| `catch_lot_identity` | harvest, landing, sorting, and sales records | Mass, count, or volume | kg, item, basket, tub, crate, or m3 | Catch records must retain species or species group, harvest area, gear or collection method, vessel or collector, trip, lot, landing date, accepted mass, rejected mass, and intended use where known. |
| `water_temperature_and_holding` | washing, live holding, chilled holding, and discharge | Temperature, salinity, mass, or volume | deg C, ppt, kg, or m3 | Preserve water source, controlled water volume, salinity where relevant, temperature, holding time, drainage, and discharge basis. Ambient seawater is a boundary condition unless pumped, treated, exchanged, or discharged under foreground control. |
| `energy_fuel_and_ice_inventory` | vessel operation, landing, live holding, chilling, ice making or use, cold rooms, and dispatch | Energy, fuel, or mass | kWh, MJ, L, or kg | Record original electricity, fuel, ice, and energy carrier units before normalizing to the reference flow. |
| `packaging_basis` | baskets, tubs, crates, sacks, liners, labels, insulated containers, ice boxes, and pallets | Mass or item count | kg or item | Packaging and containers must retain material type, item count, tare or fill mass, reuse rate, and destination before normalization. |

## 5. System Boundary

The default boundary covers foreground-controlled jellyfish harvest or collection to the declared landing, handling, dispatch, packhouse, or delivery gate:

1. Fishing, harvesting, or collection, including vessel or collector activity, gear operation, catch handling, bycatch or non-target material handling, and onboard draining or sorting where performed.
2. Landing, grading, washing where performed, live holding or chilled holding, drainage, rejection, residue handling, temperature control, icing, packaging, and declared gate release.
3. Delivery to the declared gate when the reference flow is delivered product beyond landing, dispatch, or packhouse gate.

Capital goods and long-lived vessels, gear, holding tanks, cold rooms, and infrastructure are included only when the declared data package scope requires them. Purchased ice, packaging, electricity, fuel, water, live-holding oxygen, and transport services require upstream datasets unless the same operator controls and reports their production in the foreground package.

| `val_product_state` | Product state is live, fresh, or chilled and excludes frozen, dried, salted, brined, alum-cured, prepared, preserved, or ornamental jellyfish. | error | Product state is outside the jellyfish live, fresh, or chilled PCR scope. |
| `val_mass_basis` | Product mass basis is declared as wet, drained, whole, bell, oral arm, ice-excluded, or another stated basis. | error | Product mass basis is missing or ambiguous. |
| `val_required_qualifiers` | Required qualifiers are present in metadata or process notes. | warning | Reference flow qualifiers are incomplete. |
| `val_structured_sync` | `structured.yaml` is regenerated from the bilingual Markdown after edits. | error | Structured projection is out of sync with authored PCR Markdown. |

## 10. Published Dataset Profile

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| dataset_role | foreground production dataset for jellyfish, live, fresh, or chilled |
| downstream_use | `secondary_dataset`; `background_dataset`; foreground reference for process or lifecyclemodel construction when harvest and handling records are retained |
| allowed_use | LCA modelling of declared jellyfish live, fresh, or chilled product at landing, dispatch, packhouse, or delivered gate |
| excluded_use | ornamental live jellyfish; frozen, dried, smoked, salted, brined, alum-cured, cooked, canned, prepared, preserved, extracted, or processed jellyfish; non-jellyfish aquatic invertebrates; residues, wastewater, bycatch, or rejected biomass as separate products; ecosystem-service claims without a separate reviewed method |
| required_metadata | canonical PCR id; CPC 3.0 code; species or species group; harvest or collection area; gear or collection method; landing site; live/fresh/chilled state; wet or drained mass basis; product form; holding duration and temperature; packaging state; declared gate; geography; reporting period; data owner; unresolved UUID substitutions |
| required_quality_disclosure | product state evidence, mass balance closure, wet/drained basis, temporal coverage, allocation basis, upstream dataset links, missing foreground records, proxy rows, and reasoned-estimate ranges used only for QA screening |
| update_trigger | new Tiangong flow identities for jellyfish gear, vessel service, ice, live-holding oxygen, brine or salting exclusions, bycatch, residue, packaging, refrigerant, or delivery services; reviewed quantitative evidence for fuel, yield, drainage, ice, packaging, or chilling ranges; updated Codex, FAO, or legal requirements; classification mapping change |
