HISTOLOGICAL STUDY OF OLFACTORY ORGAN IN TELEOST

Abstract

The olfactory organ, as a primary chemoreceptor in fish, plays a crucial role in locating food, finding mates, avoiding predators, and help in reproduction. This organ helps fish detect chemical signal in the water, guiding essential behaviorfor survival and reproduction. The histoarchitecture of the olfactory organ in teleost is a fascinating subject that underscores the importance of olfaction in aquatic environments. In addition to giving knowledge about fish behaviour and ecology, an understanding of these structures demonstrates the evolutionary adaptations that enable teleosts to flourish in a variety of environments.
