Notes:
: The influence of the gonadal stage of hake on the biochemical properties of myofibrils stored at 2 to 4 °C was studied. At 0 time and during storage, both Mg2+-Ca2+-ATPase activity and Ca2+ sensitivity of myofibrils from post-spawned hake were significantly higher (p 〈 0.01) than those of pre-spawned fish. The profiles of SDS-PAGE gels of unstored and stored myofibrils from pre-spawned hake showed a partially denatured myosin heavy chain. The actin-myosin ratio in myofibrils from pre-spawned hake was significantly lower (p 〈 0.01) than the ratio in post-spawned hake. Irrespective of the gonadal condition of fish, no changes in the myosin-actin ratio of stored myofibrils were observed.
