| effect of temperature on protein synthesis in fish of the galapagos and perlas islands. | 1. the temperature dependency of protein synthesis was studied in vivo in five species of pacific fish collected in the galapagos and perlas islands: batfish (ogcocephalus darwini), groupers (epinephelus labriformis), catfish (netuma platypogan), puffers (arothron hispidus) and triggerfish (sufflamen verres). 2. liver protein synthesis, assayed by a rapid pulse injection technique, showed a moderate temperature dependency (q10 = 2-3) in the 15-30 degree c range for all species except puffers (q1 ... | 1979 | 318297 |
