Thirty adult specimens were collected from intertidal mudflats, and the digestive tract was examined using gross anatomical observation and routine paraffin histology with haematoxylin and eosin staining. Gross anatomical observation differentiated the digestive tract into the oesophagus, stomach, intestine and rectum, whereas histological examination focused on the stomach, intestine and rectum. The stomach was characterized by prominent mucosal folds, a well\u2010developed lamina propria and numerous gastric glands. These features provide strong histological evidence for the presence of a glandular stomach in\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>S. histophorus<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    . The intestinal mucosa formed long and slender folds lined by columnar epithelial cells and mucus\u2010secreting cells, whereas the rectum showed shorter mucosal folds and a comparatively thick muscular layer. The regional differentiation of the stomach, intestine and rectum suggests structural specialization of the digestive tract in relation to the omnivorous feeding habit of this amphibious fish. These findings provide the first histological description of the main digestive regions in\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>S. histophorus<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    and contribute to comparative knowledge of digestive morphology within Oxudercidae.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/ahe.70153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]],"date-time":"2026-07-14T09:27:34Z","timestamp":1784021254000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Histological Evidence for the Presence of a Glandular Stomach in the Mudskipper\n                    <i>Scartelaos histophorus<\/i>\n                    From the Mekong Delta, Vietnam"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"55","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-7014-9754","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vuong Van","family":"Ly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Biology, School of Education Can Tho University  Can Tho Vietnam"},{"name":"Institute of Food and Biotechnology Can Tho University  Can Tho Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-0519-0476","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vinh Quoc","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Biology, School of Education Can Tho University  Can Tho Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-3506-3711","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"U Van","family":"Hua","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Biotechnology, Chemical and Food Technology Can Tho University of Technology  Can Tho Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9895-2039","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Quang Minh","family":"Dinh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Biology, School of Education Can Tho University  Can Tho Vietnam"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_13_2_1","volume-title":"Carleton's Histological Technique","author":"Carleton H.
