Activity of cytochrome c oxidase and lactate dehydrogenase in muscle tissue of slow growing (lower modal group) and fast growing (upper modal group) Atlantic salmon

Fast growing Atlantic salmon (upper modal group) exhibit a higher activity of muscle cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) than the slow growing salmon (lower modal group). The ratios of CCO/LDH activity, indicate a higher aerobic/anaerobic metabolic potential of the axial muscl...

Description
Summary:Fast growing Atlantic salmon (upper modal group) exhibit a higher activity of muscle cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) than the slow growing salmon (lower modal group). The ratios of CCO/LDH activity, indicate a higher aerobic/anaerobic metabolic potential of the axial muscle in the upper modal group.
