| Abstract: | An ultrastructural study of the myotomal muscles in the golomianka, Comephorus baikalensis Pallas, revealed two main and distinct muscle regions: superficial and white. They were distinguished on the basis of histological and ultrastructural organization. Only the superficial fibre region shows homogeneous organization. The principal new finding is the unique ultrastructural organization of the superficial muscle fibres. Their myofibrils occur in the form of ribbons surrounded by large mitochondria. |
