Description
Check pellet diameter against a supplied sieve band.
Aquaculture estimates expand supplied samples, classify explicit counts and compare measurements with caller-chosen references. A zero placeholder or split count is a reporting result rather than evidence of absence or a biological diagnosis. Sampling representativeness and actual animal conditions require separate assessment.
Check pellet diameter against a supplied sieve band.
When to use this tool
Use Feed Pellet Size Sieve Gap when checking the stated aquaculture estimate, class or record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter pelletDiameter, lowerOpening, upperOpening, includeUpper. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read inBand, lowerGap, upperGap. Inspect inBand before interpreting the associated values.
Check pellet diameter against a supplied sieve band. Require nonnegative diameter/lower and upper >= lower; lower is inclusive, upper follows includeUpper, gap outputs are signed distances to each edge.1

| includeUpper | Include Upper | Required. Boolean. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |

}Limitations and assumptions
- No actual sieve distribution, feed suitability, ingestion or animal-health conclusion is evaluated.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use calibrated representative measurements and an appropriate complete statistical or husbandry assessment with qualified professionals.
