Résumé
Amphibious fishes have evolved a variety of physiological modifications allowing them to survive in water and air. In air, the amphibious mangrove rivulus, Kryptolebias marmoratus, uses its skin as a site of ionoregulation. Skin ionocytes actively transport ions into/out of the body; however, it is unclear if there are specific morphological or functional changes occurring in skin ionocytes during air exposure. We used two microscopy techniques to describe skin ionocyte morphology and to investigate their plasticity after salinity challenges and air exposure. Immunohistochemical staining in air-exposed fish revealed ionocytes with Na
