trimethylamine oxide

trimethylamine oxide
a non-toxic product made from toxic ammonia and used by sharks to keep the body fluid concentration high to prevent loss of water to the sea. Other marine fish may develop a trimethylamine (TMA) content in their flesh through reduction by bacterial action. A TMA of 15 mg per 100 g of fish is considered unmarketable
