Individual vertebrae from the anterior region of the spinal column were subjected to compression tests to determine strength (ultimate stress and stress at elastic limit), elasticity (ultimate strain and modulus of elasticity), and energy-absorbing capacity (toughness). For brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis, channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, and bluegills Lepomis macrochirus, mechanical properties of bone differed among species and changed with age within a species. Overall, changes in mechanical properties were related to age-dependent changes in bone density. Citing Literature Volume110, Issue6November 1981Pages 708-717 RelatedInformation
