Neuroepithelial cells (NECs) within the fish gill contain the monoamine neurochemical
serotonin (5-HT), sense changes in the partial pressure of oxygen (PO 2) in the surrounding …

Teleost fish have oxygen-sensitive neuroepithelial cells (NECs) in the gills that appear to
mediate physiological responses to hypoxia, but little is known about oxygen sensing in …

Serotonin containing neuroepithelial cells (NECs) are putative oxygen sensing cells found in
different locations within the gills of fish. In this study we wished to determine the effect of …

Coastal marine environments are characterized by daily, seasonal and long-term changes
in both O2 and CO2, driven by local biotic and abiotic factors. The neuroepithelial cells …

A highly sensitive oxygen (O 2) sensing mechanism is critical for the survival of all vertebrate
species. In fish, this requirement is fullfilled by the neuroepithelial cells (NECs) of the gill …

Carotid body glomus cells in mammals contain a plethora of different neurochemicals.
Several hypotheses exist to explain their roles in oxygen-chemosensing. In the present …

We investigated the distribution of serotonin (5-HT)-containing neuroepithelial cells (NECs),
the putative O2 sensing cells, in the gills of four species of fish: trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) …

In teleost fish, O2 chemoreceptors of the gills (neuroepithelial cells or NECs) initiate
cardiorespiratory reflexes during hypoxia. In developing zebrafish, hyperventilatory and …

In aquatic vertebrates, hypoxia induces physiological changes that arise principally from O2
chemoreceptors of the gill. Neuroepithelial cells (NECs) of the zebrafish gill are …

Available studies that have examined O2 sensing in fish have indicated that oxygen‐
sensitive neuroepithelial cells (NEC s) are O2 sensors in the gills and initiate …
