Abstract
Fast growing Atlantic salmon (upper modal group) exhibit a higher acti vity of muscle cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) and lactate dehydrogenase (L DH) than the slow growing salmon (lower modal group). The ratios of CC O/LDH activity, indicate a higher aerobic/anaerobic metabolic potentia l of the axial muscle in the upper modal group. (C) 1996 The Fisheries Society of the British Isles
