Human Factors; Procedure
On the [load plan] item 1 only showed the mail as 'live animals-other' and it weighed 893 lbs. Also; on the [load plan] was a 16 lb dog and a quickpack of dry ice. I needed to plan the item 1 mail and the dog in the forward pits and the dry ice in the aft pit. Not knowing what type of animals were in the item 1 mail; I was unable to calculate the air space for the 16 lb dog. I explained this to the [Loading Supervisor] and she had the Ramp Lead call me. The Ramp Lead advised me item 1 mail was fish. Also; item 4 was listed as 'tropical fish.' With that information; the air space was okay.
Ramp load agent reported HAZMAT cargo incorrectly assigned to live animal cargo compartment.
