Fig. 4. Comparison of maximum power output as output pressure was raised in rainbow
trout in situ perfused hearts from rainbow trout that had been
screened as good or poor swimmers 9 months earlier. Both swim group and output
pressure are significant determinants of power output (ANOVA;
P<0.05) and no interaction between the factors was found.
Pairwise multiple comparisons confirmed the significant
difference between good (blue) and poor (red) swimmers at the highest output
pressure (9 kPa) as well as the significant drop in power output between 8 and
9 kPa in the poor swimmer group. Values are means ±
S.E.M., N=8 good swimmers;
N=7 poor swimmers.
