Abstract
A CHLORIDE secretory function for the adidophil cells in the pseudobranch of fishes has been disclaimed1,2. If these cells in the gills of fish are regarded as ion-regulatory it becomes important to establish whether the cells of gills and pseudobranch are the same. The morphological and staining properties, as seen under the light microscope, suggested that they were very similar. Recently, a number of papers have been published describing the electron-microscopic struction of the acidophil cells in the gills3–5 and the pseudobranch6. Comparisons of the photographs and their descriptions in these publications is again suggestive that the cells in both areas may be identical.
