Fish Muscle
Muscle types
• Fish have the same three basic types of muscles as other
vertebrates: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.
• Skeletal: Voluntary, used for locomotion, comprises the
majority of the fish’s muscle mass.
• Smooth: Involuntary such as intestine, many organs, and
the circulatory system.
• Cardiac: Heart
Skeletal Fish Muscle:
•Essentially three types of fish muscle: red, white, pink.
•Red muscle (oxidative): Highly vascularized, myoglobin
containing tissue used during sustained swimming. Small
diameter and high blood volume = rich O2 supply!
Presence leads to strong flavor in some fishes (tuna).
•White muscle (glycolytic): Little vascularization. Used
during “burst” swimming. Large diameter fibers.
•Pink muscle: This one is sort of in between red and
white. Serves in sustained swimming, but not to the extent
that red muscle is used.

Alimentary Canal
• Essentially the gastrointestinal tract (GI).
• Two parts: (Antierior) mouth, buccal cavity, pharynx
(Posterior) esophagus, stomach, intestine, rectum.
• Mouth to esophagus & rectum is comprised of voluntary
muscle while the stomach to posterior is involuntary.
• GI tract varying considerably from spp. to spp. group.
• Nutrient absorption increased by folding and increase of
surface area (typhlosole, sprial valve).
Alimentary Canal Oddities...
• Esophagus (Peristalsis)
-one-way trip for food!
• Stomach (Killer pH!)
-Some tilipia <2! Can actually
break down plant cell walls in
absence of appropriate gastric
enzymes.
• No stomach (lungfish)! If no stomach, then no HCl = no shell or
bone digestion.
Alimentary Canal Oddities...
• Intestine
-Pyloric caeca are
fingerlike pouches that
may aid in nutrient
uptake.
GI (cont.)
• Liver-fat storage, detox., oil source.
Sharks—huge liver ~50% of gut space, but they don’t
get cancer??
• Gallbladder—source of bile (fat emulsification).
• Pancreas—source of digestive enzymes
part of liver in some fish and crustaceans (hepatopancreas)
Buoyancy
• Fish regulate buoyancy several ways:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
Low density tissue (liver in sharks)—increase fat
“Lift” from fin movement or hydrodynamics
Reduced heavy tissue (bones and muscle)
Gas (swim) bladder
Gas Bladder
• Used for buoyancy control.
Physostomas-gas bladder is connected to the stomach.
Buoyancy achieved by gulping air.
Physoclistous-not connected to stomach. Fish has
developed rete mirable and gas gland which serve
to promote gas exhange.
Smooth & Cardiac Muscles:
Circulation and the Heart
Circulatory System
Mammals
double circuit
1- heart to lungs
2- heart to body
Fish
single circuit
heart
gills
body
heart
Special conditions for
fish circulation
– Environment is oxygen poor
– Heart is simplest of vertebrates
– Fish have less blood volume than other vertebrates
• Adaptations by fish
– Composition of blood
– Morphology of circulatory apparatus
– Behavioral responses to oxygen availability
Functions of the Circulatory
System
• Delivers oxygen
• Delivers nutrients
• Removes metabolic waste
• Fights pathogens
Components of the Circulatory
System to Study
• Blood
– Erythrocytes
– Leukocytes
– Structure of Hemoglobin
• Vascular system
– Heart
– Vessels
Blood Oxygen Affinity
• pH
– Decreasing pH decreases affinity
– Often associated with carbon dioxide
• Carbon dioxide
– Increase in CO2 drives off O2 (Bohr effect)
– Decrease in blood pH magnifies Bohr effect
Blood Oxygen Affinity
• Temperature
– Increase in temperature depresses oxygen
affinity and capacity
– Results in fish having narrow temperature
tolerances
• Organic phosphate
– ATP depresses O2 affinity
– Urea increases O2 affinity
Fish Circulatory System
• Primary circulation
– Closed system
• Heart
• Arteries
• Capillaries
• Veins
• Secondary circulation
– Collects blood that is outside the primary
– Originally thought to be lymphatic
• No lymph or lymph nodes
Divisions of Primary Circulation
• Branchial circulation
– Blood from heart through gills
• Systemic circulation
– Blood from gills to body to heart
• Blood flow is continuous from heart, to lungs, to body,
back to heart
Proximity of Heart &
Gills
• Exceptions
to Normal Circulation
• Hagfish have accessory inline hearts
• Lungfish have pulmonary circulation
• There are also many small adaptations in
some species
(Vascular circulation in lungfish.)
Structure of the Fish Heart
• Four chambered heart
• All four chambers are in line
• The heart pumps only venous blood
• Except for a few air breathing fish, all
blood is pumped to the gills
Chambers of the Fish Heart
(1) Sinus venous
– Collects blood from venous ducts
(2) Atrium
– Accelerates blood flow
(3) Ventricle
– Large muscled chamber
– Provides propulsive flow for circulation
(4) Bulbus arteriosus (bony)
Conus arteriosus
– Changes blood from a pulse to continuous
flow
Conus Arteriosus vs.
Bulbus Arteriosus
• Conus Arteriosus
– Contractile
– Cardiac muscle
– More than one valve
• Bulbus Arteriosus
– Elastic
– Mostly connective tissue
– One valve dividing it from ventricle
Regulation of the Fish Heart
• Self-regulating
• Timing can be modified by brain
(influence on the autonomic nervous
system)
• Pace is set by pacemaker cells
• Many areas show pacemaker activity
The Hagfish Heart
• Most primitive
• Sinus venous well developed
– Divided into two parts to receive different
veins
• Bulbus arteriosus
• Have 3 additional hearts
– Cardinal heart in head
– Caudal heart near end of tail
– Portal heart – pumps blood through liver
Lamprey Heart
• Largest of fish hearts
• Atrium overlies ventricle
• Bulbus arteriosus
Elasmobranch Heart
• Conus arteriosus
• Sinus venosus with almost no cardiac
muscle
• Ventricle has two muscle layers
– Compacta = compact outer layer
– Spongiosa = inner layer
Teleost Heart
• Variation exists across the group
• Sinus venosus is thick-walled
• Most have bulbus arteriosus
• Some have conus arteriosus (usually more
primitive)
Lungfish Heart
• Atrium is divided into two parts by an
incomplete septum
– Functional 3 chamber heart
– Like amphibians
– Right atrium larger than left
– Right = deoxygenated from sinus venosus
– Left = oxygenated from pulmonary vein
Blood and Freezing Temp.
• Osmolality
• fp = delta freezing point
– -0.06 FW
– -0.75 SW
• Ice fishes – Nototheniidae
– glycoproteins
• Winter Flounder -- Pleuronectes
Circulatory Systems of Fishes:
Functions
• Delivery of needed substances for
metalolism to tissues where needed:
–
–
–
–
oxygen
nutrients (sugars, lipids, proteins)
minerals
hormones
Functions of Circulatory System
• Delivery of waste products away from
tissues:
–
–
–
–
carbon dioxide
nitrogenous wastes (NH3, NH4+, urea)
excess minerals
invading organisms (pathogens)
Functions of Circulatory System
• Maintenance of stable pH via buffer system:
– H20 + CO2 = H2CO3 = HCO3- + H+ = 2H+ +
CO3=
– Last step only at pH > 10, so not in fish blood
Components of Fish Circulatory
Systems
• Blood:
– aqueous solution
– solutes (proteins, sugars, minerals)
– blood cells
• erythrocytes (red blood cells)
• leucocytes (white blood cells)
