• We believe that including the mucus as part of the cervix would help in the understanding of these issues.

• Thus, it can be suggested that infection stimulates mucous cell production and immediate mucus discharge in untreated fish with an effective anti-parasitic response.

• Excessive mucus secretion is a physical obstacle which probably hinders nematode attachment and survival.
