wet weight
有姿 means untouched or without any change, and the word is frequently used in the area of real estate.
In the scientific context "intact sample" might be suitable.
In the area of waste regulation the word is used in contrast to 絶乾 that means absolute dry or bone dry. An example from the following site is 絶乾とは、水分を含まない固形分量をいう。有姿とは水分を含む重量をいう。
My translation is:
Results should be expressed in terms of wet weight.
Best regards,
