Additional Information The Settlement report and DPS report for these fish do not match up due to a mistake. The correct date of settlement was July 20th which is in the DPS report, But incorrectly July 16th in settlement report. Unfortunately the settlement report cannot be changed as it has already been signed off. Just thought I would point that out as a matter of clarity.
