Abstract
The arrangement of the branchial vasculature in fishes is very complex, and only during the last ten years have there been major advances in our understanding of the microanatomy of the gill vasculature. The main reason for the increase in knowledge is the introduction of vascular casting techniques, which allow a detailed study of the vascular spaces by binocular microscope or scanning electron microscope (Gannon, Campbell and Randall 1973; Laurent and Dunel 1976; Cooke 1980; Cooke and Campbell 1980; see also Laurent 1984).
