barris de

[skylang]

In a document about commercial fishing, I have the word barris which I can't find a meaning for.

Il a pris 1 100 barris de harengs et 300 barris de sardines

Can anyone help?

I doubt it, this refers to one fisherman with one trap. It's what he then sells to the fish processing plant.
