Serotonin (5-HT)-containing neuroepithelial cells (NECs) of the gill filament are believed to be the primary O2 chemosensors in fish. In the mammalian carotid body (CB), 5-HT is one of many neurotransmitters believed to play a role in transduction of hypoxic stimuli, with acetylcholine (ACh) being t...
