Electric fish generate energy and produce an electric current from electrocytes which are derived from muscle tissue. The type of energy metabolism that creates ATP in the electrocytes can vary, possibly depending on the type of muscle the electrocyte has evolved from, either fast or slow. The goal of this research is to determine how various electric fish generate ATP in their electric organs. Enzyme histochemistry and immunohistochemistry was used to localize glycolytic and ...
