Temperature acclimation modulates the oxygen binding properties of the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua L.) genotypes-HbI*1/1, HbI*1/2, and HbI*2/2-by changing the concentrations of their major hemoglobin components (results from growth studies at different temperatures).

Abstract excerpt

The influence of long-term acclimation temperatures in Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) was studied by growth experiments carried out over a total of 272 individuals. The attention focused on the structural and functional modulation of the five electrophoretically distinguishable genotypes of cod hemoglobin (HbI*1/1, HbI*1/2, HbI*2/2, HbI*1/2b, and HbI*2/2b) and on the correlation with body length/weight. The main...
