Muscle fibre growth dynamics in diploid and triploid rainbow trout

The effect of triploidy on muscle fibre growth was determined by comparing hyperplasia and hypertrophy of white muscle fibres in all-female, diploid and triploid rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss (100–400 mm total length). Conventional morphometry and protein and DNA concentrations were used to assess muscle fibre hyperplasia and hypertrophy in white muscle samples derived from an anterio-dorsal location. Muscle fibre distributions were significantly different between triploids and diploids in trout <300 mm. The proportion of fibres <20 μm was higher in diploids than in triploids and the proportion of fibres in the 20–40 μm category was higher in triploids than in diploids. This indicates that the hyperplastic fibres of triploids are larger than those of diploids. Larger hyperplastic fibres in triploids are probably due to the combined effect of increased nuclear size in triploids and the relatively high nucleus: cell ratio observed in small muscle fibres. These larger fibres may be less favourable to cellular metabolic exchange because of their smaller surface area to volume ratios, and perhaps account for reduced viability and growth observed in triploids during early life stages. On the other hand, the lack of difference in the distribution of fibres <20 μm between diploids and triploids at larger body size ranges (301–400 mm) imply that triploid trout may have higher rates of new fibre recruitment and growth capacity at these sizes. There was no difference between diploid and triploid trout in the mean size of muscle fibres; however, the number of fibres per unit area was reduced by 10% in triploids. No differences were observed in protein or DNA concentrations in muscle tissues between the two genetic groups. Since triploid nuclei have 1·5 times more DNA than diploid nuclei, this deviation from the expected muscle DNA concentration (1·3–1·4 times more DNA in triploids when the 10% reduction in fibre density is considered) suggests that the number of nuclei per muscle fibre is reduced. In both diploids and triploids, mean fibre size increased with body length while fibre density decreased. Similarly, protein concentration in the muscle tissue increased and DNA concentration declined with increasing body length. Protein/DNA ratio was strongly and positively correlated with fibre size. These results demonstrate that changes in DNA and protein concentrations can be used to assess hyperplasia and hypertrophy in muscle tissues. However, the morphometric procedure provides better insight into muscle fibre growth as it enables the direct visualization and analysis of muscle fibre distribution patterns.     

Influence of growth rate on white muscle dynamics in rainbow trout and brook trout

In trout, fast growth stimulated white muscle fibre hypertrophy ( P 0·001) and hyperplasia ( P <0·01) in outer fibres but not in deep fibres. Glycogen was most prevalent in outer fibres ( P <0·01) and in brook trout ( P <0·01) that on average had three to four times larger fibres than rainbow trout.     

Diel variation in branchial calcium uptake by the rainbow trout

Natural reproduction of anadromous rainbow trout in Norway

Six naturally reproduced 0+ rainbow trout were caught in a Norwegian river in 1994. This is the second report and first recorded sample of descendants from anadromous parents found in a Norwegian river. If this is not a unique event, the finding bodes ill for future conservation of native anadromous Salmonids.
