Measuring fish condition should link ecosystem drivers with population dynamics, if the
underlying physiological basis for variations in condition indices are understood. We …

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is commonly used in human health and nutrition
fields but has only recently been considered as a potential tool for assessing fish condition …

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a nonlethal tool with which to estimate the
physiological condition of animals that has potential value in research on endangered …

The energetic status of fishes represents energy stored as protein and lipids and reflects the
ability of an individual to reproduce, migrate, and transition through life stages, ultimately …

Reliable fish condition estimates help managers better understand ecosystem population
dynamics. Therefore, our study objectives were to measure seasonal changes in percent dry …

Assessment of body composition is an accurate measure of condition. This study evaluates
bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) methods for Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus. BIA …

Research has shown that Yellow Perch Perca flavescens, found throughout lakes and
streams of North America, are good indicators of environmental health. Due to the …

Assessing the health of a fish is an essential part to aquaculture and fish research. This is
traditionally done by measuring body content using bomb calorimetry or proximate …
