Description

‍The K-Factor Calculator helps you determine the condition factor of a fish, particularly useful for species like Atlantic salmon, sea trout, and trout. The K-Factor is a measure of a fish's health and well-being, showing whether it's underweight, overweight, or in optimal condition for its length. By entering the fish’s weight and length, this calculator provides an accurate K-Factor value.

‍

Developed for aquaculture professionals and anglers alike, this tool is essential for those wanting to monitor the health of fish stocks or individual catches. Whether you're managing fish farms, researching, or practicing recreational fishing, understanding the K-Factor helps ensure the fish are thriving. Healthy fish typically have a K-Factor around 1.0, while deviations indicate poor or excessive body condition.

‍

How to Use

‍Simply input the weight (in grams or kilograms) and length (in centimeters) of the fish. The calculator will output the K-Factor, which you can then compare to standard values to assess the fish's condition. It's a helpful tool for both aquaculture management and anglers concerned with fish welfare.

Formula:
K = 100 × (Weight / Length³)

This formula provides an accurate condition factor for a variety of fish species, including salmon and trout. The result gives insight into whether the fish is growing at an optimal rate or needs better environmental conditions or feeding practices.
