Description
Return nominal ice and loaded-bin mass.
Aquaculture material budgets distinguish as-fed mass, dry mass, specific energy and nutrient fractions. Offered feed, recovered feed and estimated intake are different quantities. Arithmetic balances do not determine biological utilization, an appropriate diet, disease status or a safe feeding recommendation.
Return nominal ice and loaded-bin mass.
When to use this tool
Use Fish Harvest Bin Ice Ratio when checking the stated aquaculture feed, material or composition basis.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter fishMass, iceToFishRatio, binTare. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read iceMass, loadedMass. Use the output convention below.
Return nominal ice and loaded-bin mass. Require nonnegative fishMass, iceToFishRatio and binTare; iceMass = fishMass*ratio, loadedMass = fish+ice+tare.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| fishMass | Fish Mass | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| iceToFishRatio | Caller-supplied ice/fish mass ratio; no storage or food-safety target is selected. | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| binTare | Bin Tare | Required. Finite number; minimum 0. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| iceMass | Ice Mass | Required. Finite number. |
| loadedMass | Loaded Mass | Required. Finite number. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- The ratio is supplied rather than a preservation or food-safety recommendation; actual cooling and product quality are not assessed.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
- Numeric calculations use binary floating point unless exact decimal-integer arithmetic is explicitly stated. No hidden measurement tolerance or decimal rounding is added; nonfinite or out-of-contract results are rejected. Numeric signed-zero results are exported as zero.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Use verified feed and animal records, representative measurements and qualified aquaculture/veterinary advice for actual nutrition, welfare or water-quality decisions.
