A thick, elaborate glycocalyx was associated with α and β chloride cells of rainbow trout gills, a less elaborate one with surface epithelial cells and a scanty and inconspicuous one with mucous cells. The dense glycocalyx of the chloride cells may have significant function in ion regulation and metabolism of the gill.
