Fish calibrations

The table below lists all of the fish calibrations that are available for the Distell Fish Fatmeter.  This table can be downloaded as a PDF document.

Each calibration has an associated calibration chart that describes how the fish should be measured by the Fatmeter and also how the fish should be processed for lab analysis to produce comparable results.  Simple click on the calibration name to download the relevant chart.
