The effects and consequences of temperature on protein synthesis in fish havebeen the subject of a sizable proportion of the literature on fish, and the area hasbeen reviewed recently (McCarthy and Houlihan, 1997). As for many physiologicalprocesses, protein synthesis changes with temperature and is predicted to exhibitan asymmetrical response: rates increasing to a maximum near an uppertemperature limit and, as the temperature increases beyond this value, decliningrapidly (McCarthy and Houlihan, 1997). It has been suggested that maximumrates of protein synthesis occur at the optimum temperature for growth (Loughnaand Goldspink, 1985;
