Myoglobin Concentration and Oxygen Stores in Different Functional Muscle Groups from Three Small Cetacean Species

Myoglobin Concentration and Oxygen Stores in Different Functional Muscle Groups from Three Small Cetacean Species

Compared with terrestrial mammals, marine mammals possess increased muscle myoglobin concentrations (Mb concentration, g Mb · 100g<sup>−1</sup> muscle), enhancing their onboard oxygen (O<sub>2</sub>) stores and their aerobic dive limit. Although myoglobin is not homogeneously...
