“…According to Luxinger et al (2018), this is due to the differential capacity of the accumulation of muscle mass in certain points of the animal's body during its growth, which characterizes the shape of the fish and influences body performance. Cruz et al (2012) and Can et al (2015) states that the morphometric variables as a selection criterion are used when there are high correlations between these and the commercial indices of production value, such as fillet yield, presenting great importance for the processing industry. Body measurements usually have a high phenotypic correlation with body weight and fillet weight and low with fillet yield.…”

The aimed of this study was to analyze the yield, correlations, and profitability of different commercial cuts of pirarucu (Arapaima gigas) in seven weight classes. Data on 380 fish were obtained, with weight ranging 4.7 to 48.2 kg. The Kruskal-Wallis's test (α = 0.05) was used to compare the average income. And Spearman's correlation (α = 0.05) was used to verify the correlation between morphometric measurements and yields. To obtain profit in each weight class due to the cut produced, an economic analysis was performed considering the cost of buying the fish. The weight classes 1 (< 8 kg) and 6 (23.1 to 32 kg) had the highest yields and weight classes 1 (< 8.0 kg) and 2 (8.1 to 11.0 kg) the lowest residues production. The yield of fillet mignon and tail fillet is higher in weight classes 4 (14.1 to 18 kg), 5 (18.1 to 23.0 kg) and 6 (23.1 to 32.0 kg), while the yield of loin and residues did not differ between weight classes. The production of the commecial cuts presented a higher economic return than the production of pirarucu deboned in all weight classes, but it is not recommended to take the pirarucu production above 32 kg. The measure of average circumference has a moderately positive correlation with the deboned yield, and can be used to determine the yields of this commercial cut.
