Abstract: | The total lipid contents of muscle, the liver somatic index and the total lipid contents of actomyosin in hakes changed with the gonadal condition of the fish. Non-polar lipids in actomyosin from pre-spawned hake were 145% higher than in actomyosin from post-spawned hake; polar lipids were 30% higher. The relative percentage of phospholipids changed from 32% in pre-spawned hake to 48% in post-spawned hake. The Mg2+-ATPase activity in actomyosin increased from the pre-spawned to the post-spawned conditions, and this could be related to a higher phospholipids to neutral lipids ratio in post-spawned hake. Gradual decreases in both Ca2+-ATPase activity and myosin: actin ratio during the gonadal development of fish were found, suggesting a partial loss of myosin functionality of the actomyosin complex. |
