Fish Yield Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate fish yield (FY) is:

\[ FY = \left( \frac{EPW}{APW} \right) \times 100 \]

Where:

\(FY\) is the Fish Yield (%)
\(EPW\) is the Edible Product Weight (g)
\(APW\) is the As-Purchased Weight (g)

What is Fish Yield?

Fish Yield refers to the percentage of the edible portion of the fish compared to its total as-purchased weight. It is an important metric in the food industry to determine the efficiency of processing and the amount of usable product obtained from the raw material.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Edible Product Weight (\(EPW\)) = 500 g
As-Purchased Weight (\(APW\)) = 1000 g

Using the formula:

\[ FY = \left( \frac{500}{1000} \right) \times 100 = 50\% \]

The Fish Yield is 50%.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Edible Product Weight (\(EPW\)) = 750 g
As-Purchased Weight (\(APW\)) = 1500 g

Using the formula:

\[ FY = \left( \frac{750}{1500} \right) \times 100 = 50\% \]

The Fish Yield is 50%.
