The histological appearance of the epithelium and related structures of the buccal cavity of the gold fish

Abstract

A considerable amount of literature is available regarding various aspects of fish behaviour, anatomy, histology, dentition and feeding habits. Authoritative sources describe certain features and behavioural responses under experimental conditions of varying species o f fish and frequently lead one to assume that stated facts generally apply tc, all species. Detailed information regarding any one species Is scanty and a book of general teleost anatomy appears to be unavailable.
