Temperature acclimation and the expression of contractile protein isoforms in the skeletal muscles of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.)
Tony Crockford,Ian A. Johnston +1 more
TL;DR: The results indicate a partial capacity adaptation of muscle power output in fish acclimated between 11°C and 23°C, and it is suggested that myofibrils from warm-acclimated fish contained a second minor isoform of troponin I.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter- and intra-specific variation in myosin light chain and troponin I composition in fast muscle fibres from two species of fish (genus Oreochromis) which have different temperature-dependent contractile properties.
TL;DR: The twoOreochromis species studied produce fertile F1 hybrids, are susceptible to ploidy manipulation, have a short generation time and rapid growth rates, and represent a good model for investigating the genetic mechanisms underlying the inheritance of different force-generating capacities in fish.
Journal ArticleDOI
Contractile properties and the inheritance of myosin heavy chains in Oreochromis species with different temperature tolerances
TL;DR: In this article, fast muscle fibres from Oreochromis andersonii generated higher isometric stresses at low temperature than fibres of O. niloticus, a less cold-tolerant species.
