Linear regression was tested with BW as cofactor only when significant (ns, not significant). Wfilet was negatively related to RUcrit in salmon and in bream. For seabream, additionally, significant relations existed between RUcrit and FATi. Wint and Wcarcass. For the latter two traits, trends existed in salmon. One outlier (>2 SD) was removed for Wliver in salmon. **P < 0.01; *P < 0.05; ∧P < 0.10. See text for abbreviations.
