Effects of carbon dioxide modified atmospheres on degradation of adenine nucleotides in chill‐stored whitefish ( Coregonus clupeafor‐mis ) and rainbow trout ( Salmo gairdneri ) were studied. K values were determined during storage up to 26 days. Results indicated CO 2 atmospheres did not alter K values compared to those observed for aerobically held fish. However, both CO 2 atmospheres and potassium sorbate‐dipping of fillets caused decreases in hypoxanthine concentrations compared to untreated aerobically held samples.
