Fig. 4. Light micrographs of gill filaments of K. marmoratus from (A)
control conditions in water, (B) 1 h of air exposure, (C) 1 day of air
exposure, (D,E) 1 week of air exposure and (F) 1 week of air exposure followed
by 1 week of recovery in water. Experimental treatments for the two fish shown
in D and E are identical, but in D the interlamellar cell mass (ILCM)
partially fills the channel between secondary lamellae, and in E the ILCM
completely fills this same space. Scale bar, 40 µm.
