fiskval
Fiskval is a metric used in fisheries economics and seafood supply chains to estimate the market value potential of a batch of fish. It integrates factors such as product quality, freshness, species, size class, and regulatory status to produce a single, comparable score.
Etymology and usage: The term is a contraction commonly used in Nordic contexts, drawing on "fisk" meaning
Methodology: In practice, fiskval is calculated as a weighted composite score: Fiskval = w_quality*Q + w_fresh*F + w_species*S + w_size*Z
Applications: Buyers and sellers use fiskval to compare lots, optimize harvest schedules, sorting decisions, and logistics;
Limitations and reception: Fiskval is not a universal standard, and its value depends on subjective quality
