    Abstract

    This histological atlas focuses on A. coeruleus and includes major organs and tissues. Particularly note the stomach tissues of both species, which illustrate the difference in digestive strategies of the Carribbean Acanthurids. Acanthurus chirurgus was intentionally left out of this atlas, as its tissues are identical to those of ?A. bahianus(PDF has 22 pages)
