Peculiarities of distribution and chemical structure of mucous cells in the epidermis of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L.

Morphological, chemical structure and mucous cells distribution in the epidermis of Atlantic cod, Gadus morhua L. have been studied in the given work. The studied fish were at the age of 5 month, 1 and 1.5 years old. Morphological characteristic of mucous cells has been given based on transmission electron microscope. Chemical composition of the cells has been investigated with different stains. Mucous cells structure and distribution illustrate their secretory function. The chemical composition reflects Atlantic cod ecology as an epibenthic-pelagic species.
