Morphological, immunohistochemical and ultrastructural characterization of the skin of turbot ( Psetta maxima L.)

Highlights • Turbot skin has three morphologically distinct layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. • Turbot have two pigmentary layers: the pigmentary layer of dermis and the pigmentary layer of hypodermis. • Turbot have three different types of chromatophores. • The main differences observed bet...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Turbot skin has three morphologically distinct layers: epidermis, dermis and hypodermis. • Turbot have two pigmentary layers: the pigmentary layer of dermis and the pigmentary layer of hypodermis. • Turbot have three different types of chromatophores. • The main differences observed between groups of fish with different external colouration were the amount of melanophores and xanthophores.
