Intracellular vesicular trafficking in the gill epithelium of urea-excreting fish
Abstract
Abstract. Most teleost fish are ammoniotelic, and relatively few are ureotelic, in which the majority of nitrogenous waste is excreted as urea. This study aimed to determine whether the gill ultrastructure of ureotelic fish might have specific, unique characteristics compared with ammoniotelic fish. The gill morphology was studied in three closely related species of the family Batrachoididae: Opsanus beta, the gulf toadfish; Opsanus tau, the …
