Structure, histochemistry and the effect of handling on the mucous cells of the epidermis of the char Salvelinus alpinus (L.)

The structure and histochemical characteristics of the epidermis of the char Salvelinus alpinus (L.) were studied at the light microscope level. Sialic acid-containing glycoproteins appear to form the main components of the mucous or goblet cells. A single incidence of handling can significantly inc...
