Extract

Data from nearly 900 individual herring sampled in the North Shields, Whitby and East Anglian fisheries during the period 1956–60 demonstrate a linear relationship between the percentage fat and the percentage water contents for whole herring minus gonads and gut content, and the fat/water line derived from the data is described.
