The structure of the venom gland of Trachinus draco was studied by histological techniques using light microscopy. New structures in the large glandular cells were detected, including concentric cytoplasmic laminae, basal vesicles, silver nitrate staining cytoplasmic granules, and a high affinity for wheat-germ agglutinin lectin in the cytoplasm of mature large glandular cells.We also describe morphologic changes of the venom gland during thermal test. At low temperatures, the large glandular cells and their nuclei become enlarged, whereas at high temperatures the large glandular cells are smaller and their nuclei irregular in shape. Similarly, samples from fish captured during two opposite seasons showed differences in their nuclei, which were smaller in summer than winter. The larger growth of supporting cells at low temperatures, together with their aggregation during conditions of stress and their vacuoles secretion, suggest that supporting cells could be played several roles.
