“…The former is correlated with increases in tissue transamination and oxidation of leucine in particular, but probably other branched-chain amino acids, in skeletal muscle (Goldstein & Newholme, 1976;Lindsay, 1980). As reported previously (Johnston & Goldspink, 1973;Patterson et al, 1974;Moon & Johnston, 1980) and substantiated on Table I, the water content of plaice skeletal muscle (especially white muscle) increases as myofibrillar proteins breakdown (Johnston, 1981~). Only in the spiny dogfish, Squalus acanthias, has it been shown that a single dominant amino acid is released during starvation (alanine) but this occurs only over the first two weeks of prolonged food deprivation (Leech et al, 1979).…”

“…Bailey et al relate these high activities with the necessity to mobilize tissue proteins during periods of food scarcity, a process known to occur in many fish species (Love, 1970;Johnston & Goldspink, 1973;Patterson et al, 1974). Quantitative analysis of muscle fibre ultrastructure has demonstrated that around 25% of the white skeletal muscle myofibrils in plaice are degraded after four months food deprivation (Johnston,1 9 8 1~) .…”

“…Starvation studies on plaice (Patterson et al 1974) and northern pike (Ince and Thorpe 1976) have also revealed glycogen levels in red muscle tissue to decline as starvation was sustained. However, in previous studies on migrating Pacific salmon and North American eels, glycogen levels remained constant or increased slightly (Idler and Clemens 1959;Butler 1969).…”

“…Clearly, many aspects of the physiology and motivation of fish are affected by starvation, and the effects of condition are unlikely to be linear. During extensive starvation, the ultrastructure of white muscle is more affected than that of red muscle (Johnston and Goldspink, 1973;Patterson et al, 1974;Johnston, 1983, 1985;Black and Love, 1986). At the ultrastructural level, volume fractions of mitochondria and myofibrils, fibre size and capillary supply are reduced.…”
