Morphological and physiological traits of the mesonephros in a freshwater fish, grayling Thymallus thymallus
The study presents new data on the structural and functional organization of the mesonephros of the grayling Thymallus thymallus (Linnaeus, 1758). Adult grayling were sampled in the middle course of the Unya River, a tributary of the Pechora River (Komi Republic, Russia). The mesonephros of the gray...
