The morphology of chloride cells in the channel catfish, Ictalurus punctatus , has been studied by transmission electron microscopy. The chloride cell possesses abundant tubules, mitochondria, and granules. The employment of a special membrane stain in conjunction with a two‐ or tridimensional analysis reveals a complex interjoining and interlocking ring system of tubules. Tubular sides constituting the complex rings frequently lack granules. The tubular rings join with tubulous mitochondrial profiles and other cytoplasmic components. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
