Abstract
A simple method for eliminating urea almost completely from elasmobranch muscle consists in desalting the initially salted muscle in 5% brine . The initial salting removes about 58% of the urea, which occurs to the extent of 5 .8 to 7 .5% D.W.B . in the fresh muscle, and the desalting further reduces the urea content to negligible quantities (0 .2%).
