An olfactory organ in Scartelaos gigas, so-called mudskipper known as adaptation to
an amphibious lifestyle, was investigated anatomically and histologically. S. gigas possessed the paired
olfactory organ comprising respectively the one elongated canal and two nasal sacs, lacrimal and
ethmoidal nasal sac. The sensory epithelium developed partly in the canal contained four distinct
types of cells: (1) receptor cell with 3 to 4 cilia in number, (2) supporting, (3) basal, (4) mucus cell. The
sensory epithelium was also of transitional layer as multi cellularity structure. The non-sensory epithelium
had no sensory elements. The two nasal sacs possessed typically a lot of mucin droplets. These
results might be considered that anatomical structure and histological characters of the olfactory
organ showing in S. gigas is adapted to semi-aquatic life associated with its ecological habit and
habitat.
