Tissue Hypertrophy: A Quantitative Adaptational Strategy During Cold Acclimation in Channel Catfish and Green Sunfish (Immunoelectrophoresis, Heart, Liver, Protein Synthesis, Degradation)

1. Livers of 15 C acclimated channel catfish (CCF) exhibit cellular hypertrophy compared to livers of 25 C acclimated catfish as shown by doubling of hepatosomatic index (HSI) and total liver protein. No change occurs in protein concentration or total liver DNA. The same pattern was observed for heart although the absolute magnitude of hypertrophy was no more than 20-30%.
