Abstrakt: The oral mucosa of females of mouth-breeding Tilapia mossambica was studied histochemically to determine the nature of the mucosubstances and to find out variations in them in the seasonal breeding cycle. The mucosubstances exhibited intense reactivity towards all the histochemical methods employed in the breeding season, whereas their reactivity in the nonbreeding period was very weak which increased in the prebreeding period reaching a maximum in breeding period and decreased in postbreeding period.
