    Conversion factors for processed queen conch to nominal weight/ Factores de conversión para el caracol reina procesado a peso nominal 2009

    Queen conch (Strombus gigas) is one of the important fishery resources in the Caribbean in terms of its annual landings and its social and economic importance. Queen conch is an edible marine gastropod of the Caribbean region that has been listed in Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), which allows international trade of the species only after certain conditions are met. An FAO FishCode STF*/OSPESCA** workshop held in Panama identified the need to be able to convert the different processing grades to nominal weight. Three countries (Dominican Republic, Honduras and Nicaragua) volunteered to participate in a field experiment to establish the conversion factors. This investigation resulted in the establishment of conversion rates for different processing grades per country. There were slight but significant differences between conversion factors for processing grades between countries, most likely related to different processing techniques used. Within this limitation, the following preliminary regional conversion factors are recommended: 100 percent fillet to nominal weight 16.4; 85 percent fillet to nominal weight 13.7; 50 percent fillet to nominal weight 9.46; dirty meat to nominal weight 5.7.
