...Genevieve K. Temple; Nicholas J. Cole; Ian A. Johnston SUMMARY Temperature influences many aspects of muscle development in herring ( Clupea harengus ). In Clyde herring, myofibril synthesis occurred later with respect to somite stage in embryos reared at 5°C compared with 12°C. The aim...

...Ian A. Johnston; Nicholas J. Cole; Marguerite Abercromby; Vera L. A. Vieira ABSTRACT The influence of embryonic and larval temperature regime on muscle growth was investigated in Atlantic herring ( Clupea harengus L.). Eggs of spring-spawning Clyde herring were incubated at 5 °C, 8 °C or 12 °C...

...Ian A. Johnston; Nicholas J. Cole; Vera L. A. Vieira; Irvine Davidson ABSTRACT Myogenesis, the expression of myofibrillar protein isoforms and the development of muscle innervation were investigated in Clyde herring ( Clupea harengus L.) in two successive spawning seasons at temperatures ranging...

...Lee A. Fuiman; Robert S. Batty ABSTRACT The influence of temperature-induced changes in water viscosity on the swimming performance and kinematics of larval Atlantic herring ( Clupea harengus ) was examined using high-speed video recording. The physical effects of viscosity were measured separately...

...Ian A. Johnston; Vera. L. A. Vieira; Marguerite Abercromby ABSTRACT The development of axial muscles has been investigated in spring-spawning Atlantic herring ( Clupea harengus L.) reared at 5, 8, 12 and 15 °C. In 1994, around 90 % of embryos hatched after 28 days at 5 °C, 16 days at 8 °C, 9 days...

... temperature herring Clupea harengus plaice Pleuronectes platessa Most species of marine fishes have a very high fecundity, producing thousands and even millions of eggs per year. Their newly hatched larvae are usually small (2–9 mm long) and vulnerable, for they undergo mortality rates of 5–30...
