“…The tongue, which is an important sensory organ in fish, plays also a role in the intake and ingestion of food (Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, Ciriaco, & Germanà, 2012; Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, De Carlos, et al, 2012). It has been reported that the tongue is composed of three parts in Siberian sturgeon (Devitsina et al, 2011), zebrafish (Abbate et al, 2006), white sea bream (Guerrera et al, 2015), European sea bass (Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, De Carlos, et al, 2012), swordfish (Abbate et al, 2017), northern pike (Sadeghinezhad et al, 2015), argus (Thongboon et al, 2017), gilthead seabream (Abbate, Guerrera, Montalbano, Ciriaco, & Germanà, 2012), mackerel (Kettratad et al, 2017), pufferfish (Timurlenk & Çınar, 2014), oscar fish (Demirbağ et al, 2013), and rainbow trout (Abbate, Guerrera, Levanti, Laurà, Aragona, et al, 2020). In the study, it was similar to the literature that the tongue was macroscopically composed of three parts: apex, body, and root.…”
