## Abstract Vascular corrosion replicas of the counter current heat exchanger microcirculation in skipjack tuna, __Katsuwonus pelamis__, were examined by scanning electron microscopy. Smallbore (7β10 ΞΌm diameter) vessels, with characteristics typical of those associated with the secondary circulati

## Abstract Tunas (family: __Scombridae__, Tribe: __Thunnini__) exhibit anatomical, physiological, and biochemical adaptations that dramatically increase the ability of their cardiorespiratory systems to transfer oxygen from the water to the tissues. In the present study the vascular anatomy of the
A novel type of monoamine oxidase (EC. 1.4.3.4) present in the liver of skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) was extracted from mitochondrial preparations by Triton X-100. The enzyme was puriΓed by ammonium sulphate fractionation, followed by Sephadex G-200, butyl-toyopearl 650 M, phenyl-toyopearl 650
Restriction endonuclease analysis of mitochondrial DNA indicated a surprisingly high degree of genetic similarity between skipjack tuna (Katsuwonus pelamis) from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The present results (1983) support the findings of previous morphological and electrophoretic studies. Ev
