Abstract This systematic review highlights the similarities and variations in gill morphology, histology, anatomical structure between differing fish species. The system consists of mainly four pairs arches most teleost fishes, such as sea bass, bream, grouper, red porgy, etc., while it three pufferfish striped-red mullet fish. However, Clarias gariepinus had five pairs, including an additional rudimentary fifth-gill arch. consisted arches, rakers, filaments, secondary lamellae with varied shapes hook, semilunar, L-shapes, crescentic shapes. Each arch carried two rows lateral medial, present fishes ( Mugil cephalus, Boops boops, Pagrus pagrus, Sparus aurata , European hake, Puffer fish, grey gurnard, bream). An row appears or (accessory) dusky grouper length shape rakers are related to feeding habits. longer, equal, more number developed than those medial rows, except at second third pufferfish, fourth pagrus . absent first Bagrus bayad carries structures, air-breathing dendritic organ catfish, located suprabranchial chamber caudodorsal gills composed main parts: small large ones originated by stems from fourth-gill respectively. interbranchial septum can be smooth, form a median crest (seabream), carry teeth spines (seabass, pufferfish). Four transversely raised areas on each side connected transverse lines caudal base tongue ) elevated part level third-gill Tilapia zilli ). Scanning electron microscopy explained micro-anatomical structures pavement cells, mucus cell openings, taste buds arch, grooves near filament side, their spines, heights types Histological findings revealed various superficial chloride mucous goblet basal epithelial cells. lymph space is situated within epithelia encompassed cells that resemble tenocytes. contains many immunological lymphocytes, granular leukocytes, rodlet comprises sensory known neuromasts hyaline cartilaginous support. underscores intricate relationship habits across marine freshwater highlighting importance understanding these for ecological, evolutionary, aquacultural applications
