têtes
As the details are about quantities, ''hds'' could stand for ''heads'' and refer to the number of fish instead of total weight.

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.
