Abstract
The taste organs have a species-specific structure in different animal species. The development of the taste bud in different species of fish occurs at different periods of ontogenesis. The purpose of our work was to study the morphological features of the structure of the taste bud in Clarias gariepinus.
Analysis of our studies made it possible to determine the histological features of the structure of the mucous membrane of the esophageal wall. The taste bud is an important structure in the digestive system of the African clary catfish. It is round in shape and consists of specialized cells that have a number of features, each of which has a specific function. In the region of the taste pore at the apical pole, neurosensory cells are equipped with cilia, through which the signal is transmitted to the afferent nerve fiber.
The data obtained can be used to study the microstructure of Clarias gariepinus organs, as well as to determine taste preferences, which will allow optimizing the operation of enterprises producing feed and therapeutic and prophylactic drugs for these fish species.
