Sažetak
This paper presents results on relationship between farmed bluefin tuna gilled and gutted (GG) products weight and live weight of fish. In total, 165 fish from four different cages located at two farming sites, were analysed immediately upon harvesting. Live weight of these fish ranged from 19.4 to 81.7 kg. It was noticed that as a result of processing live fish in GG product, farmed bluefin tuna loss in average 11.2% of its respective live round weight (RWT). Thus, use of conversion factor of 1.112 to estimate RWT of farmed tuna from known GG product weight can be suggested.
