Abstract
The structure and histochemical characteristics of the epidermis of the char Salvelinus alpinus (L.) were studied at the light microscope level. Sialic acid-containing glycoproteins appear to form the main components of the mucous or goblet cells. A single incidence of handling can significantly increase the concentration of superficial goblet cells in the epidermis. Repeated handling results in a maximal response after 1 week but this is reduced to control levels after 1 month. These results are interpreted in terms of the structure of the char epidermis.
