Summary

STRUCTURAL CHANGES OCCURRING IN THE SKELETAL MUSCLE OF THE FISH LABEO CALBASU, A MAJOR CARP, DURING ICE STORAGE WERE STUDIED HISTOLOGICALLY. FRESH MUSCLE TISSUE SHOWED CLOSELY PACKED UNIFORM BUNDLES OF MYOFIBRILS, WITH WELL-DEFINED STRIATIONS AND CLEARLY VISIBLE NUCLEI. THE CONNECTIVE TISSUES WHICH CEMENTED TOGETHER THE FIBRES AND MYOTOMES WERE ALSO DISTINCTLY DISCERNABLE. ON STORAGE, THERE WAS PROGRESSIVE DISRUPTION IN THIS COMPACT PICTURE, WITH DETERIORATION OF THE ORGANISATION OF THE STRUCTURE. GAPS APPEARED IN AREAS ORIGINALLY OCCUPIED BY CONNECTIVE TISSUES, SUGGESTING DISINTEGRATION OF THE LATTER.
