Processed weight to live weight conversion factors for Atlantic halibut of the Scotian shelf and southern Grand Banks.
By K. Zwanenburg and S. Wilson
Abstract
This study re-examined processed-weight to live-weight conversion factors for the two common landed forms of Atlantic halibut. We weighed 2272 halibut live, and in the head-on and eviscerated form and determined a conversion factor of 1.135 (95% confidence interval = 1.134 -1.138). We also weighed 534 halibut live, and in the head-off and eviscerated form and determined a conversion factor of 1.264 (95 % confidence interval = 1.256 - 1.272). We recommend that these conversion factors be adopted as the standards for this species.
