The cited overview of Biochemical oxygen demand supplies background for the terminology and domain context used by this tool.^[1]

Express visceral mass as a percentage of whole-body mass. Inputs are interpreted exactly in the displayed units and the calculation returns the following fields without presentation rounding.

Viscerosomatic Index Percent (%)

Returned number in %.

• Species, life stage, temperature, salinity, system design, sampling method, and management practice can materially change aquaculture measurements and suitable operating ranges.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units, preserve source measurements and assumptions, and independently verify consequential decisions.

Complement the calculation with calibrated water-quality instruments, representative sampling, feed and mortality records, and species-specific guidance from qualified aquatic-health or production professionals.

• Gonadosomatic Index

  Express gonad mass as a percentage of whole-body mass.

• Hepatosomatic Index

  Express liver mass as a percentage of whole-body mass.

• Dressing Percentage

  Calculate dressed yield as a fraction of whole-fish mass under a consistent processing definition.
