Animal Reproductive system Egg(s), ovum 09/23/2013
Animal Skin, connective tissue system Fat, adipose tissue 09/23/2013
Animal Digestive system Feces Material that has been excreted from the digestive tract. 07/12/2017
Animal Muscular system Fillet portion (epaxial muscle), skin off Appropriate when only a portion of fillet is sampled. Fish muscle sampled between the back of the head and dorsal fin, and above the lateral line (epaxial muscle), skin removed. This is different than Fillet, skin off because only a portion of the muscle is sampled. 09/24/2013
Animal Muscular system Fillet, skin off Entire fish fillet with skin removed 09/24/2013
Animal Muscular system Fillet, skin on Entire fish fillet, skin remains on fillet 09/24/2013
Vascular Plant Reproductive Fruit 09/23/2013
Animal Respiratory system Gills 09/23/2013
Animal Digestive system Gut contents Material or contents found within the gut (digestive tract). Does not include tissue of the digestive organs. 09/24/2013
Animal Whole organism or multiple tissues Head 03/21/2014
Animal Excretory System Kidney Kidney, whole or part(s) 07/24/2014
Vascular Plant Foliage Leaves 09/23/2013
Animal Digestive and Excretory System Liver and Kidney Liver and kidney combined, whole or parts 07/24/2014
Animal Digestive System Liver or Hepatopancreas An organ associated with the digestive tract. The hepatopancreas is usually associated with molluscs and arthropods. The liver is usually associated with vertebrates. 07/30/2014

Animal Skin, connective tissue system Skin 09/23/2013
Animal Whole organism or multiple tissues Viscera, not liver, not kidney, not stomach contents Abdominal organs and tissue except for the liver, kidney, and stomach contents, all of which were removed. Sometimes used for finfish samples. 07/24/2014
Animal Whole organism or multiple tissues Visceral mass Appropriate for molluscs only (e.g. snails, clams, mussels). This is the soft, nonmuscular region in molluscs which contains the internal organs (also know as the gut ball). 09/24/2013
Algae Whole organism Whole organism (algae) 01/30/2013
