Dear Luís
The references I have to the Fishtester are:
Hennings, C. (1965). The Intelectron Fish Tester V. A new electronic method and device for the rapid measurement of the degree of freshness of wet fish. In: The Technology of Fish Utilization, R. Kreuzer, ed. Fishing News (Books) Ltd., London, pp 154-157.
Hennings, C. (1963). Zeitschrift für Lebensmittel Untersuchung und -Forschung, 119, 461-477.
I do not have copies of either reference so I can not give you details of the circuitry and such like. A example of its use compared with others methods of measuring freshness is:
Burt, J.R., Gibson, D.M., Jason, A.C. & Sanders, H.R. (1975). Comparison of methods of freshness assessment of wet fish. Part II. Instrumental and chemical assessment of boxed experimental fish. Journal of Food Technology, 11, 73_89.

Hi,
I read an article about some results using the Fishtester. But this article didn´t explain how this device works, which tests it is capable to do.
One member of my MSc presentation told me that this equipment makes physical and chemical tests, but I cannot find any reference about this equipment so I am not able to write down my pr=E9 PhD project to ask for the schollarship. I exchanged some messages last year with the article autor (Dr. Joerg Oeschenlaeger from a German Institute in Hamburg) and he gave me the title of another article about this subject but my computer experienced some problems and I lost all data, including his email and the title of article.
Someone could give me more information about this equipment??
Regards,
Luís Paulo
