Temperature acclimation in the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus: Seasonal variation and cellular mechanisms

Seasonal variations were seen in liver composition and activities of liver enzymes of channel catfish acclimated to $7\sp\circ\rm C,$ $15\sp\circ\rm C,$ or $25\sp\circ\rm C.$ Fall and winter catfish exhibited positive acclimation for total liver protein and DNA, hepatosomatic index, and activity of pentose phosphate shunt enzymes, while spring and summer fish showed little or inverse compensation. LDH showed little compensation or seasonal variation in either liver or muscle. Cytox showed seasonal variation in muscle but no seasonal variation in liver.
