Abstract
The oesophagus morphology of an omnivorous tilapiine fish is described. This organ is very short and is organized into a mucosa, a submucosa, a double-layered muscolaris and a serosa. The epithelium is stratified with columnar cells, but the most peculiar feature is the presence of many goblet cells that assure protection and lubrication. Taste buds are not present.
