“…Dark muscle is called slow skeletal muscle and mostly lies along the lateral line of a fish and is used for slow cruising (Jiao et al., 2019; Ochiai & Ozawa, 2020). During postmortem storage and processing of fish, dark meat deteriorates faster than white meat due to the remarkable variation of oxidative and glycolytic enzyme profiles between these two muscles (Jiaoa et al., 2019; Kubo et al., 2018; Listrat et al., 2016; Ochiai & Ozawa, 2020). In fact, dark meat has a higher concentration of the pigment myoglobin, which is low in soluble protein, glycogen, and glycolytic enzymes except hexokinase, but high in lipid, oxidative enzymes, and Ca 2+ ‐ATPase activity; the opposite situation exists in white meat of red‐fleshed fish including trout, mackerel, and yellow tail (Cassens & Cooper, 1971; Johnston, 1977; Kubo et al., 2018; Listrat et al., 2016; Rescan et al., 2001; Watabe & Hashimoto, 1980; Watabe et al., 1983).…”
