¹Abbreviations: HYA, high yielding A, HYB, high yielding B; SYA, standard yielding A, SYB, standard yielding B.

²Measured in mm at the top of the fillet in the cranial region to the tip of the fillet in the caudal region.

³Measured in mm at 1/3 the caudal end of the fillet.

⁴Measured in mm at the thickest part of the cranial region of the fillet.

^a-fMeans without a common superscript were determined to be significantly different (P < 0.05) by a Tukey's HSD test.
