• Relationship between Fulton’s condition factor and proximate body composition in three freshwater fish species (2015, background): “One of the most frequently used morphometric indices is the Fulton’s condition factor (K-factor thereafter), expressed as the ratio of body mass and the cube of length (Nash et al., 2006).”
• Inconsistencies in measurement of fish condition: a comparison of four indices of fat reserves for Atlantic herring (Clupea harengus) (2011, background): “The most common morphometric condition index is K (Stevenson and Woods, 2006), also known as Fulton’s K (Nash et al., 2006).”
• Salmon Welfare Index Model (SWIM 1.0): a semantic model for overall welfare assessment of caged Atlantic salmon: review of the selected welfare indicators and model presentation (2013, background): “Condition factor (K) is a standard measurement of fish nutritional status (Bolger & Conolly 1989; Nash et al. 2006) and is calculated as K = (WL)100, where W is the weight in g and L is the length in cm.”
