    Dear Daniel
    According to the two papers listed below, measurement of TMA is a poor
    indicator of freshness of scallops. If this is the case it does not matter
    how you measure the TMA.

    spoilage indicators in queen scallops. I. Held in ice, Journal of Food
    Technology, 9, 381-390;

    on the spoilage of king scallop (Pecten maximus) during chilled storage,
