摘要
The possibility of sympathetic innervation to melanophores in fish was investigated using a catecholamine histochemical fluorescence method. Catecholamine‐containing fibers were observed to be in close anatomic proximity to the conjunctival and dermal melanophores of the cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus). It is suggested that the catecholamines released from these adrenergic fibers are capable of causing aggregation of pigment with blanching of skin color. Copyright © 1968 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
