Gill‐derived glands in species of Astyanax (Teleostei: Characidae)

Abstract: The presence of a gill‐derived gland is herein reported for the first time in males of species of Astyanax and related genera; they are described through histological cuts and SEM. The gill‐derived glands described for the Characidae, when fully developed, present a similar structure in different species. The main external feature of gill‐derived glands is the fusion of anteriormost gill filaments on the ventral branch of first gill arch. This fusion is caused by squamous stratified epithelial tissue that cove… Show more

“…glandipedis , but much less developed than in the other species (see Terán et al . [ 48 ] for the presence of underdeveloped glands in some species of Astyanax Baird & Girard). Burns and Weitzman [ 49 ] first described a similar organ in Corynopoma riisei Gill, and posterior papers described it for several other characids [ 48 , 50 ].…”

“…[ 48 ] for the presence of underdeveloped glands in some species of Astyanax Baird & Girard). Burns and Weitzman [ 49 ] first described a similar organ in Corynopoma riisei Gill, and posterior papers described it for several other characids [ 48 , 50 ]. Mirande [ 2 ] was the first to employ this character in a phylogenetic analysis of the Characidae, finding it to have been independently acquired at least two times and lost a few times throughout the evolution of the group.…”

“…Dorsal, pectoral, and caudal fins with few bony hooks dispersed in distal portions of rays. Gill glands (Burns & Weitzman, 1996) or fusion of anteriormost gill filaments of the ventral branch of first gill arch (Terán et al, 2014) were not found macroscopically on the both mature males and females.…”
