What the research is about

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.

Research conclusion

The Fish Fat Meter suitably predicted energy and lipid content of Atlantic Croakers, indicating its potential for assessing condition of juveniles that store lipids for migration and that display a high range of observed lipid content.

Assurant Innovations take

Using the Fish Fat Meter helped to measure fish fat which stores energy to help during migration.
