What the document says
“The payment rate for payments under subparagraph (B) shall be not less than $600 per acre of farm-raised fish.”
The section requires the Secretary to set the payment rate taking into account the costs of deterring fish-eating birds, the value of lost fish and revenue, and the costs of disease loss from bird damage, and sets a floor of $600 per acre. The payment is that rate multiplied by 85 percent of the total acres of fish farms the producer has in production for the calendar year.
What the document actually says
“The payment rate for payments under subparagraph (B) shall be not less than $600 per acre of farm-raised fish.”
That sentence, in plain words
The rate may not fall below $600 for each acre of fish. That is a floor, not a cap.
What this is about
The Secretary weighs three things in setting the rate. The payment covers 85 percent of the acres in use. Those are the acres in production that year.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
