Histologic comparative study of muscles of several commercial fishes in coastal waters of the southeast China seas
东南沿海几种经济鱼类肌肉组织学比较研究

Muscles of 5 large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) strains and 5 other species of fish in the southeast coastal waters were observed by using paraffin section. The results showed that among large yellow croaker strains, there was no significant difference in muscle fibers between wild fish and their cultured progenies, but gynogenesis strain and its hybrid progenies showed a greater density of muscle fibers than other strains. There were also evident differences between species, and the differences reflected the genetic features and living mode of the fish species.
