    Chapter 5 Evaluation by actual measuring result 2-4. Selection of the day of catching or the next day of catching This device measures the percentage of fat from the information inside and outside the cells, but as the cell condition is different on the day and the next day of catching (the day of lethality), it has two modes for accurate measuring.

    Chapter 4 User parameters Chapter 3 How to measure 3-1. Posture to measure properly Although this device is a non-destructive device that does not break fish, it is also a contact-type that directly touches the fish, so if the subcutaneous fat is crushed, the values may change. To make an accurate measurement, please read the following points and get familiar with the device.

Conversely, at the high frequency band, the cell membrane is electrically shorted, and electricity flows inside the cell, resulting in low impedance. This is the electrical feature of the cell, while the status of the fish after death changes with time, and the electrical feature of the cell also changes in the way that reflects it.

Evaluation by impedance mode The impedance mode is for the actual measurement value for those who want to know 1) the fat riding of unregistered fish species, 2) the fat riding other than the back, and for those who want to do a fat riding evaluation by their own way. Here, the impedance at 100 kHz is displayed instead of fat percentage (unit: Ω).
