Quality is determined by a number of desirable characteristics. These characteristics include size, color, fin development, and sex, as well as indicators of health such as scale loss, torn fin rays, eye damage, and parasite load.

The approach developed by an FAO team for classifying country progress in FMD risk management. In this approach there is criteria for describing the FMD risk management position of countries that are not-free of FMD. It may lead to a tool that can be applied to measure (and communicate) country progress within regional roadmaps, and aims at starting countries along a pathway of activities from measuring risk to risk management, covering the stages before they could apply for recognition of disease freedom.

A gyrocompass is similar to a gyroscope. It is a non-magnetic compass that finds true north by using an (electrically powered) fast-spinning wheel and friction forces in order to exploit the rotation of the Earth. Gyrocompasses are widely used on ships. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compass#Gyrocompass)
