Estimating Component Values for Fish  -  Protein - Moisture

---

In fish, the proximate composition is important for the post-mortem technological treatment. Therefore, the proximate composition of fish has been studied intensively for many years.

The Protein-Moisture Relation

To be continued.

Conclusion on the protein-moisture relation

To be continued.
