Example :
450 Kg
100 Hds
200 Lbs
NikkoTh
têtes
Explanation:
As the details are about quantities, ''hds'' could stand for ''heads'' and refer to the number of fish instead of total weight.
Given the lack of reference for my interpretation of the abbreviation, I posted the above in the discussion section at 12:20 for peer opinion.

Explanation:
Je suis d'accord avec Saeed. Hds peut vouloir dire heads. Je clarifierais cela avec le client, car hds peut aussi signifier hundreds (short or great hundred), même si heads est peut-être plus probable : 100 produits avec un poids moyen unitaire de 4,5 kg font 450 kg, donc c'est du même ordre de grandeur que les autres exemples de la liste.

Conventions francophones, différentes de celles de l'anglais (minuscules pour les unités, pas de s du pluriel dans l'abréviation) :

450 Kg
100 Hds
200 Lbs

450 kg
100 u
200 lb
