AB  - The histomorphological aspects as well as the histochemical content and 
      distribution of glycoproteins (GPs) in the mucosa of the digestive tract of the 
      white croaker Micropogonias furnieri were studied. The buccopharyngeal cavity and 
      the esophagous showed a squamous stratified epithelium with mucous cells. The 
      stomach presented three portions: cardias, fundus and pylorus. Tubular glands 
      formed by a single type of gland cell were located along the cardias and fundus. 
      Histochemical tests showed that the buccopharyngeal cavity and the esophagous 
      presented the largest amount of the different types of mucosubstances. Both 
      organs showed abundant secretory mucous cells that synthesize large quantities of 
      neutral, sulphated and sialylated GPs. The surface epithelium in the cardias and 
      fundus synthesized and secreted scarce sialylated and neutral GPs whereas the 
      secretions of the apical surface were abundant. The pylorus secreted large 
      amounts of neutral as well as sulphated and sialylated GPs. Gland cells secreted 
      neutral GPs. The ultrastructural features of the gut cells were quite similar to 
      those of other teleosts. The buccopharyngeal cavity and the esophagous surface 
      epithelial cells, identified by their superficial localization, were 
      characterized by cytoplasmic vesicles of different size. Abundant goblet cells 
      with secretory mucous granules were also present. Gastric glands in the stomach 
      contained just one form of cell with a fine structure similar to cells that 
      secrete pepsinogen.
