Fig. 1. Fifth, fiftieth and ninety-fifth percentiles of the muscle fibre diameters in the rainbow trout. Percentiles were calculated from the µprobability density functions of the muscle fibre diameter distribution for each fish. The columns show the mean diameter + S.E.M. for the fifth, fiftieth and ninety-fifth percentiles for each size class of fish. Red and blue columns show the percentiles for the red and white fibres, respectively. The size classes were: L=0.13±0.02 m, N=6; L=0.22±0.03 m, N=5; L=0.32±0.06 m, N=5, where L is total fish length.
