How does the Fish Freshness Meter (Torrymeter) work?
The Fish Freshness Meter (Torrymeter) measure’s fish freshness based an Organoleptic Chart which provide a fish freshness scale from 0 to 18, the 18 being most fresh.
The sensors emit a small current through to the fish and calculates a voltage. The phase angle between the current and voltage is measured, then is converted to provide an easy to understand scale of 0 to 18.
The fish freshness scale is measured by conductance, capacitance and q-factor of the fish flesh and muscle structure. As the fish spoils and as bacteriological activity increases, there is a redistribution of intra-cellular and extra-cellular electrolytes. This redistribution changes the capacitance and resistance of the flesh and muscle structure. These changes in value allow it measure the fish freshness.


Fish Freshness Scale (Organoleptic Chart Expample)
How to read the chart: The Freshness Meter score scale may differ for each fish types, but in general, the Freshness Meter score ranges from 0 to 18. The 18 being the highest and 0 being lowest.
Freshness Score | Days after catch | Comment |
---|---|---|
14 to 18 | 0 to 2 days | Very fresh |
12 to 13 | 2 to 4 days | Fresh |
10 to 11 | 5 to 7 days | Neutral with some smell |
7 to 9 | 7 to 14 days | Neutral with some smell |
5 to 7 | 14 to 16 days | Not graded, nearly spoiled |
3 to 4 | 16 to 18 days | Not edible & spoiled |
0 to 2 | 18 days or more | Not edible & spoiled |

Fish Freshness Results in Seconds & Non-destructive
Depending on the size of the fish, take 1 to 4 measurements per fish for reliable & accurate reading. You’ll get an “average” of those readings as the fish freshness result.
The Fish Freshness Meter was designed to be used on live fish so it does no harm to the fish. You can use the fish or sell it with confidence to your customers.
