Histochemical staining techniques, which differentiate the main categories of carbohydrates, were applied to sections from different segments of the alimentary canal of the shi drum Umbrina cirrosa L. to study patterns of distribution of epithelial glycoconjugates. In the oesophagus, mucous cells contained sulphomucins. together with a small amount of sialomuncins, Stomach epithelial cells secreted neutral and acidic glycoconjugates, while gastric glands only produced small quantities of sialomucins. Goblet cells showed the presence of sialo and sulphomucins in the pyloric cacca, whereas intestinal mucous cells secreted sulphated glycoconjugates. This work serves as a baseline for further Studies on carbohydrate composition of the mucosa of the shi drum digestive system.
