Arius felis: Pelvic Fin Modification in Female

The "pelvic fin modification" which develops in breeding sea catfish, Arius felis (Osteichthyes, Ariidae) was examined histologically. This structure, covered by non-keratinized squamous epithelium, was composed mostly of collagen fibers. These fibers were thicker and more closely-packed n...

Zusammenfassung:The "pelvic fin modification" which develops in breeding sea catfish, Arius felis (Osteichthyes, Ariidae) was examined histologically. This structure, covered by non-keratinized squamous epithelium, was composed mostly of collagen fibers. These fibers were thicker and more closely-packed near the tip of the modification than the base, which consisted mostly of adipose tissue.
