Notes:
: Chemical anesthesia (AQUI-STM Plus) was used to harvest tank-rested yellow-eye mullet (Aldrichetta forsteri) and snapper (Pagrus auratus) in a “rested” state. Fillets were stored at half the acclimated temperature under hyperbaric, hyperoxic conditions and compared with fillets stored under normobaric, hyperoxic conditions. Postmortem (PM) changes in white muscle (WM) cut-surface pH and key metabolites (lactate, adenosine triphosphate [ATP], and inorganic phosphate [Pi]) were measured. Hyperbaric, hyperoxic storage extended the pre-rigor period in the rested WM by delaying PM changes. Prolongation of pre-rigor was greatest in rested snapper WM. This was attributed to an extended period of aerobic metabolism in PM rested WM.
