Use of bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to predict water and energy content of juvenile Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

Accurate measurements of energy content and body composition are essential to effectively assess the well-being of fish. Bomb calorimetry and proximate analysis are currently the most dependable and accurate methods to estimate energy content and body composition. However, bioenergetic studies that...
