“…PVCs have large polygonal surfaces covered by microridges generated by folds of the apical membrane. These may serve to anchor mucus on the epithelial surface (Moron et al 2009). They also increase gill surface area by more than twofold (Olson and Fromm 1973), providing a reserve of apical membrane (Avella et al 2009) that allows them to expand or shrink, covering and uncovering adjacent MRCs and MCs in various circumstances Daborn et al 2001;Matey et al 2008).…”

“…Environmental stressors cause the release of stored mucous granules by exocytosis, and gel-like mucus spreads along the gills (Verdugo 1991). This highly anionic, negatively charged medium may contribute indirectly to ion uptake by creating a microenvironment rich in cations, which is thought to facilitate active uptake and decrease passive ion loss (Handy 1989;Shephard 1994;Roberts and Powell 2003;Moron et al 2009). …”

“…The presence of chloride cells suggests that the gill of this fish participates in osmo-regulation other than respiration. The presence of mucous cells in gill varies according to aquatic conditions [20]. Mucous cells are observed in higher number in the primary lamellae than in the secondary lamellae [21,22].…”

“…Mucins were demonstrated using Alcian blue (AB) at pH 1. 0 (sulphated acid glycoprotein, Lev and Spicer, 1964) and pH 2.5 (acid glycoprotein, Mowry, 1956) and, periodic acid-Schiff (neutral glycoprotein, McManaus, 1948). In addition, the PAS technique was employed in combination with AB pH 1.0 and pH 2.5 to the identification of MC containing more than one type of glycoprotein.…”

“…Changes in the density of the gills' mucous cells have been considered as a response to the changes in the ion concentration in water such as sodium, calcium and chloride (Perry and Wood, 1985;Laurent and Hebibi, 1989;Moron et al, 2009) and xenobiotics (Wendelaar Bonga et al, 1989).…”
