About 90% of Aburazame landed on our fish-markets are found 60-80cm. in body length, and the average weight of their pancreas is 5g. (Tab. I A, B and Fig. 1).
As the pancreas contains only little fat (Tab. II), insulin can be simply extracted from it after Dudley's method.
We can obtain 17.5 units (estimated by Toronto method) of insulin per head, (Tab. III).
