Abstract
Biological condition factors and proximate composition of hoki (Macruronus novaezelandaie) white muscle, dark muscle and liver vary considerably between individual fish and with season. Seasonal changes in the gonads and liver were correlated with concomitant changes in proximate composition of white muscle, dark muscle and liver. In white muscle there was an inverse relationship between protein and moisture content, while in dark muscle and the liver the inverse relationship was between lipid and moisture. These seasonal changes in proximate composition can be related to hoki's breeding cycle and have a direct effect on yields, quality and storage stability of products made from hoki.
