(B) Filamental epithelial surface from 35 g l^–1-exposed fish; arrows indicate the chloride cell apical pits. MC, mucus cells; PC, pavement cell. (C) Filamental epithelial surface in 45 g l^–1-exposed fish. (D) Filamental epithelial surface in 55 g l^–1-exposed fish. Scale bars: 100 µm (A), 10 µm (B–D).
