Comparative study of the olfactory organs of two hill-stream fishes--Labeo boggut (Sykes) and Ailia coila (Ham.).
The paper presents a comparative study of the olfactory organs of two hill-stream fishes--Labeo boggut and Ailia coila. It was found that the olfactory organs of Labeo boggut were less well developed than those of Ailia coila, in which olfactory area is greater than in Labeo boggut. According to Teichmann's (1954) classification, Labeo boggut belongs to group I, whereas Ailia coila belongs to group II.
