Mucous cells, the microscopic structural hallmark of mucosal surfaces, are highly responsive to environmental changes. Here we report how the gills of Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) smolts responded to peracetic acid (PAA), a potent oxidative disinfectant and a candidate chemotherapeutant in aquacu...
