The ultrastructural organization of olfactory epithelium of two species of gadoid fish
The untrastructural organization of the olfactory epithelium of the cod Gadus morhua (L.) and the haddock Melanogrammus aeglefinus (L.) was studied using both transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The olfactory rosette was found to exhibit regional differences; the faces of the olfactory la...
