The activity of alkaline phosphatase in fish scales is relevant to the study of the biochemical characteristics of production (Senkevich, 1967 red mullet, round goby). This enzyme promotes calcification of bones and scales, and its activity correlates well with the linear growth of the fish (Figure 55), so it is most intense during the warm season. Data from cold-water fish are not available.

Sexually mature male round gobies were collected by hook and line and bottom trawl between May and August in 1995 and 1996 from the St. Clair and Detroit Rivers (Windsor, Ontario). The fish were shipped by air to Edmonton (Alberta, Canada), where they were maintained under constant photoperiod (16L 8D) in 70L holding aquaria (3—5 fish per aquarium) provided with flowing dechlorinated tapwater at temperatures roughly equivalent to those in the field (9—18°C from winter to summer). Fish were fed a variety of live, frozen and flake food ad libitum. Aquaria contained gravel substrate, an airstone, artificial weed cover and plastic pipes for shelter.
