View larger version (34K): [in a new window]   Fig. 1. The annual variation in day length and water temperature at Leadmill Trout Farm, from where stocks of adult brown trout were obtained, and the periods when all experiments were performed. Arrows indicate start of the acclimation periods, width of columns indicate experimental periods and height of columns indicate seasonal temperatures.

Mean values (± S.E.M.) of glycogen concentrations in red muscle, white muscle and liver of adult brown trout sampled at rest or after swimming up to their critical swimming speed (Ucrit). For the appropriate comparisons, values with the same letters are not significantly different from one another (P<0.05; N=12).

Mean values (± S.E.M.) of free glucose concentrations in red muscle, white muscle and liver of adult brown trout sampled at rest or after swimming to critical swimming speed (Ucrit). For the appropriate comparisons, values with the same letters are not significantly different from one another (P<0.05; N=12).
