...Jeffery M. Morrissette; Jens P. G. Franck; Barbara A. Block SUMMARY A thermogenic organ is found beneath the brain of billfishes(Istiophoridae), swordfish (Xiphiidae) and the butterfly mackerel(Scombridae). The heater organ has been shown to warm the brain and eyes up to 14°C above ambient water...

Effects Of Ca 2+ On Oxidative Phosphorylation In Mitochondria From The Thermogenic Organ Of Marlin

John O’Brien, Barbara A. Block
Journal: Journal of Experimental Biology
J Exp Biol (1996) 199 (12): 2679–2687.

Published: 1 December 1996
...John O’Brien; Barbara A. Block ABSTRACT Mitochondria from the muscle-derived thermogenic (heater) organ and oxidative red muscle of the blue marlin ( Makaira nigricans ) were studied in order to evaluate aspects of the mechanism of thermogenesis in heater tissue. We investigated whether short-term...
