Objective:
To develop a grading system that will increase producer profitability by reducing labor cost and improve product quality through reduced handling of Golden Shiner minnows.

Approach:
The proposed system utilizes a combination of mechanical means and natural evading and schooling behaviors to grade (sort) general populations of Golden Shiner minnows into more homogeneous distributions.
