| Abstract: | The aims of this work were to evaluate the fillet yield and the skin area production of wild‐caught (male × female) and indoor‐reared male Brazilian flounder Paralichthys orbignyanus. Fillet yield of wild‐caught Brazilian flounder is high, averaging 53.4 ± 0.7 and 51.2 ± 0.6% to female and male, respectively. However, indoor‐reared male flounder show even higher (P < 0.05) fillet yields of 59.4 ± 0.1%. Flounder weighing around 500 g should yield a skin area of ca. 450 cm2, representing an important sub‐product that can be used in the fashion industry. The results of the present study emphasize the potential for culture and use of sub‐products of the Brazilian flounder. |
