Saadatfar, V., Shahsavani, D. and Jaafari, M. 2006. Chloride cell in the gill of white fish, Rutilus frissi, kutum. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 29: 153–155.
This study focuses on the structure of chloride cell in white fish (Rutilus frissi kutum), which lives in Caspian sea brackishwater. The cells were located essentially between the lamellae, at the base of lamellae and were mostly at one edge of gill filaments. Their tubular system was dilated. The apical membrane was flat. In some cells, it had large vesicles. On the other hand two types of chloride cells, which were different in size, were detected in preparations of gills. Chloride cells often were interdigitated with neighboring pavement cells and there were junctions between them.
