Accordingly, if the aquatic products, though subjected to a processing operation, are still in a perishable state, the subsequent performance of any of the enumerated operations on the still perishable products will be within the exemption no matter who the employer performing the exempt operations may be. He may be the same employer who performed the prior processing or other exempt operation, another processor, or a wholesaler, as the case may be. As noted in § 784.138(b), the Department has not questioned the applicability of the foregoing rule where the operation is performed on frozen, salted, smoked, or cured fish.","path":["Title 29—Labor","Subtitle B—Regulations Relating to Labor","CHAPTER V—WAGE AND HOUR DIVISION, DEPARTMENT OF LABOR","SUBCHAPTER B—STATEMENTS OF GENERAL POLICY OR INTERPRETATION NOT DIRECTLY RELATED TO REGULATIONS","PART 784—PROVISIONS OF THE FAIR LABOR STANDARDS ACT APPLICABLE TO FISHING AND OPERATIONS ON AQUATIC PRODUCTS","Subpart B—Exemptions Provisions Relating to Fishing and Aquatic Products"],"source_url":"https://www.ecfr.gov/api/versioner/v1/full/2026-08-25/title-29.xml","current_through":"2026-08-25","vintage":"","retrieved_at":"2026-08-27T02:25:20Z","sha256":"5ad04b3e76f5068c888c94b1f46581de0c295ff94748bf7ba4f2d0d359659b3e","source_id":"us-cfr","stale":true,"prev":"us/29-cfr-784.149","next":"us/29-cfr-784.151"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
