Description
Ahmed Abdellatif and co-authors charted how the grass carp mouth changes as the fish grows, in a 2024 study. Grass carp is a farmed fish of wide research interest, and its mouth is the gate to the gut. The team compared three life stages: fingerlings, year-old fish, and four-year-old adults. They used surface scans, tissue study, and measures of each mouth part.
The lips stayed whole across all stages, and the jaw lining was the thickest part. Its surface shifted from smooth ridges in the young to grooves in yearlings, then dome-like masses in adults. Taste buds and mucus cells spread through the rest of the mouth. Their density peaked along folds of the roof and floor, which the authors link to taste and easing food on its way. The study is the first age map of its kind for this fish.
