... content but have lost most of the contractile myofilaments. Thermogenesis has been hypothesized to be associated with release and reuptake of Ca 2+ . In this study,Ca 2+ fluxes in heater SR vesicles derived from blue marlin( Makaira nigricans ) were measured using fura-2 fluorescence. Upon the addition...

...John H. Long, JR ABSTRACT The stiffness and damping moments that are transmitted by intervertebral joints during sinusoidal bending were determined in the blue marlin, Makaira nigricans Lacépède. Using a dynamic bending machine, the angular stiffness (N m rad −1 ) and damping coefficient (kgm 2 rad...

... nigricans The blue marlin ( Makaira nigricans Lacépède) is among the world’s most spectacular high-performance fishes. It is commonly known as a billfish, an assemblage that also includes the black marlin ( Makaira indica Cuvier), the white and striped marlins and the spearfishes (Tetrapturus...
