The connective tissue yield was significantly greater in the WP
(2.6% ± 0.5) compared with the FP group (1.7% ± 0.2), which is consistent
with the greater firmness of the WP salmon as previously
reported by Johnston et al. (2006) for Atlantic salmon. These connective
tissue levels of both populations were within the normal
range for teleost species (Montero & Borderías, 1989).
