Morphological and histochemical characterization of the pectoral fin muscle of the stripped weakfish, Cynoscion guatucupa

The fibres of superficial and deep abductor muscles of the pectoral fins of the stripped weakfish, Cynoscion guatucupa have been studied using histochemical techniques: succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) for mitochondria, periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) for glycogen, myosin-adenosintriphosphatase (mATPase) to...
