RESUMO

The growth of red and white muscle was investigated in the rainbow trout, using fish from 2.2 cm to 71 cm in length. In the white muscle, fibre hyperplasia, initially, accounted for all muscle growth but its relative contribution decreased as the contribution from fibre hypertrophy increased. At and above about 65 cm there was no hyperplasia, and this corresponded approximately to the stage when there were no more fibres in the smallest size class (less than 20 microns). The results for the red muscle are more variable and hence more difficult to assess. Although red fibre hyperplasia may continue throughout growth, at 34 cm there are no fibres in the smallest size class, which possibly indicates no new fibre formation beyond this stage.
