Summary

LIVE SPECIMENS OF PLAICE WERE SPIKED AT THE BRAIN, STORED AT VARIOUS TEMPERATURES RANGING FROM 273 TO 293 K (0 TO 20 DEG C) AND EXAMINED FOR CHANGES IN RIGOR TENSION AND ATP DEGRADATION IN THE MUSCLE. THE ATP DEGRADATION RATE WAS CLEARLY SLOWER AT 278-288 K (5-15 DEG C) THAN AT 273 K, RESULTING IN RETARDATION OF RIGOR MORTIS ONSET AT THE FORMER TEMPERATURES. LACTIC ACID ACCUMULATION IN THE MUSCLE CORRELATED WELL WITH THE DECREASE OF ATP. THE MUSCLE SHOWED FULL RIGOR WHEN ATP COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED AND LACTIC ACID ATTAINED THE MAXIMUM PLATEAU.
