The Calorific Value and Water Content of Three Kinds of Fish around Zhoushan Archipelago

Abstract:

Calorific value is the energy scale, reflects the change of various physiological activity in organizations and the effects of various environmental factors on animal and plant growth. It can be used as an effective index of animal and plant growth status. The three kinds economic fish: Japanese croaker (Argyrosomus japonicus), Large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) and Japanese seabass (Lateolabrax japonicus) living around Zhoushan Archipelago, are studied in the experiment. Calorific value is measured by HWR-15E. The results show that: the muscle tissue water content ratio of each kind of fish is higher than the intact. The calorific value of the intact fish is higher than the muscular part. In addition, the closer the phylogenetic relationship between studied fish, the more significant calorific value difference.
