Fish Fat Meter used to study the Seasonal Changes in Total Lipid Contents of Chum and Pink Salmon in the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea

Study of Lipid Changes in Chum and Pink Salmon with the Fish Fat Meter

This study reports total lipid in the white muscle of pink and chum salmon by age group from fish caught in high-seas of the North Pacific Ocean and Bering Sea during the spring (April-June) and the summer (June-July) of 2006. In addition, this document reports a preliminary result of muscle lipid analysis using a portable Fish Fat Meter.

Two-way selection for muscle lipid content in pan-size rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Two-way selection for muscle lipid in Rainbow Trout

In this study, we present the results of experimental two-way mass selection for muscle lipid content in pan-sized rainbow trout. Selection was performed over two generations with the aim of evaluating the efficiency of the Fish Fat Meter values as a non-destructive predictive trait for selection. Direct and correlated responses for some major productive features (growth, body shape and composition, reproductive characteristics) were examined.

Fish Fat Meter used to measure energy content of anchovy and sardine using surrogate calorimetry methods

Fish Fat Meter used to measure energy content of anchovy and sardine using surrogate calorimetry methods

The aim of this study is to test the application of the Fish Fat Meter as a surrogate of bomb calorimetry to infer the energy content of both small pelagic fishes. For validation, the Fish Fat Meter values were compared with both energy density (ED; via bomb calorimetry) and Kn values.

Fish Fat Meter used to measure indices as Surrogates of Energy Density and Lipid Content in Juveniles of Three Fish Species

Fish Fat Meter used to measure indices as Surrogates of Energy Density and Lipid Content in Juveniles of Three Fish Species

We tested hypotheses that differences in the distribution and role of lipids as energy stores among species would influence the suitability of condition indices for estimating energy and lipid content.

Fish Freshness Meter (Torrymeter) used for Development and Application of Quality Index Method Scheme in a Shelf-Life Study of Wild and Fish Farm Affected Bogue

Fish Freshness Meter (Torrymeter) used for Development and Application of Quality Index Method Scheme in a Shelf-Life Study of Wild and Fish Farm Affected Bogue

The aim of this study was to develop the QIM scheme for raw bogue from Adriatic Sea and evaluate it in a shelf-life study.

Fish Freshness Meter (Torrymeter) compared with selected methods of assessing freshness quality and storage life of Gilthead Sea Bream

Fish Freshness Meter (Torrymeter) compared with selected methods of assessing freshness quality and storage life of Gilthead Sea Bream

Quality changes of whole, iced Gilthead sea bream were monitored by sensory evaluation, k1 value, GR Torrymeter, and bacterial counts. The methods were tested for their suitability to determine freshness quality and remaining storage life in ice.
