Juxtaglomerular Cells in the Teleost Kidneys

Histological observations were made on the juxtaglomerular cells in the piscine kidneys, using 34 species of teleosts. The juxtaglomerular cells were demonstrated in all species of fishes, including an aglomerular fish, Lophius litulon. In general these cells were distributed rather abundantly in the kidneys of marine fishes than in freshwater ones.
