Scanning Electron Microscopy of the Gastrointestinal Tract of Nile Perch (Lates niloticus, Linneaus, 1758)

The morphology of the gastrointestinal tract of adult Nile perch was described using standard SEM procedures. Investigations revealed the presence of cardiform teeth in the oral cavity, goblet cells and finger print-like microridges on the hard palate and oesophagus lumenal surface. Elaborate patter...
