I think I know how you came up with these percentages and I believe your figures are incorrect. If your using conventional "meal" that would be a dry measure, so 8.1 oz. is how much it weighs. Fish oil is liquid measure. Liquid and dry measure are different units of meanurement. All units must be the same to calculate percentages, this is often done on a dry matter basis. The water has to figure in to your calculations also.
