- Title
ATP, IMP, and Glycogen in Cod Muscle at Onset and During Development of Rigor Mortis Depend on the Sampling Location.

- Abstract
Variation in glycogen, ATP , and IMP contents within individual cod muscles were studied in ice stored fish during the progress of rigor mortis. Rigor index was determined before muscle samples for chemical analyzes were taken at 16 different positions on the fish. During development of rigor, the contents of glycogen and ATP decreased differently in relation to rigor index depending on sampling location. Although fish were considered to be in strong rigor according to the rigor index method, parts of the muscle were not in rigor as high ATP concentrations were found in dorsal and tail muscle.
