Summary

COLD SHOCK REACTIONS IN SEVERAL SPECIES OF MARINE, FRESH WATER AND BRACKISH WATER FISHES WERE STUDIED. STIFFENING WAS FOUND TO OCCUR MORE RAPIDLY AT 273 K (0 DEG C) THAN AT ROOM TEMPERATURE IN ALL THE SPECIES STUDIED. A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE BIOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF COLD SHOCK REACTIONS AT 273 K AND RIGOR MORTIS AT ROOM TEMPERATURE WAS CARRIED OUT. SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES IN PH, ATPASE ACTIVITY AND GLYCOGEN CONTENT WERE OBSERVED BETWEEN MUSCLES STIFFENED BY THE ABOVE 2 PROCESSES. AN INTENSE THERMAL SHOCK WAS OBSERVED IN FISHES EXPOSED TO 310 K (37 DEG C).
