Effect of sustained exercise on white muscle structure and flesh quality in farmed cod ( Gadus morhua L.).
Growth performance and white muscle cellularity were investigated in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) (500-600 g) to determine if texture and thereby quality is affected by exercise. Three exercise regimes [low flow, 0.5 body lengths per second (BLs(-1)) and 1.0 BLs(-1)] were applied, and the experime...
