Abstract

Morphology of the gill in Lateolabrax japonicus was investigated after staining the gill, as a result, we found the gill is composed of gill raker, gill arch, gill filament and gill lamellae. The number of gill raker was 7~10 in the upper and 13~18 in the lower. Ultrastructure of the gill in Lateolabrax japonicus were examined by means of the light and transmission electron microscopes. The gill have primary filament and secondary filament (lamellae). The following cells are identified and described: pavement cell, pillar cell, blood cell, mucose cell and chloride cell etc. Simple epithelial layer consists of squamous epithelium contained large nucleus, intracellular organelles etc. and the surface is covered with some of microridges. The lamella pillar structures are characterized by the axial microtubules and lateral membrane interdigitations. The mucous cells were globular in shape, and had almost the mucous granules of same size with various electron density. Chloride cells contain a lot of mitochondria and specifically developed tubular systems.

농어 아가미는 새파, 새궁, 새엽 및 새판으로 구성되어 있었다. 위쪽 새파수는 7~10개이며, 아래쪽 새파수는 13~18개로 조사되었다. 농어 아가미의 주요부위인 새엽과 새판(이차새엽)을 광학현미경과 투과전자현미경에서 관찰한 결과는 다음과 같다. 농어 아가미는 새궁(gill arch) 외연의 앞 뒤 2열로 된 긴 점막성의 빗살과 같은 모양으로 줄지어 있는 많은 수의 새엽(gill filament)을 가지고 있으며, 각 새엽은 전후 두개의 새판(gill lamellae)이 근접하여 두 열로 배열되어 있었다. 농어의 새판은 pavement cell, 기둥세포(pillar cell), 혈구세포, 점액세포(mucose cell) 및 염류세포(chloride cell) 등으로 구분되었다. 새판의 표면은 단층으로 큰 핵을 가진 pavement 세포로 구성되며, 상피표면의 glycocalyx로 덮혀진 미세융기를 가진다. 그리고 새판은 기둥세포와 혈구세포와 일정한 간격을 두고 분포하고 있었다. 점액세포는 새판에 드문드문 나타났지만 새엽에 많이 분포하고 있으며, 염류세포는 미토콘드리아와 tubular system이 잘 발달되어 있었다.
