Abstract
The anatomy and histology of the olfactory organ in Favonigobius gymnauchen was investigated using a stereo microscopy, light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The paired olfactory organs in the dorsal snout are set in between the upper lip and the eyes. These organs are composed of two openings (anterior nostril with a tubular structure and posterior nostril), a single olfactory cavity, two nasal sac (ethmoidal and lacrimal sacs), olfactory nerve and olfactory bulb. The distributional pattern of the sensory epithelium is a only one type (continuous type). This epithelium is made up of the receptor cell, supporting cell and basal cell. The receptor cell has a only one type (ciliated receptor cell with 3~4 cilia). The non-sensory epithelium is built of the stratified epithelial cells and has mucous openings on the surface. Such an olfactory organ in F. gymnauchen may be considered to reflect its ecological habitat as a shallow water or tidal pool in the coastal zone.
