The skin of Mystus gulio (Ham.) is typical of siluroids in not having any scales. Large number of mucous cells and sacciform granular cells, interspersed with taste buds, were found in the epidermis. Histochemical tests showed the presence of weakly sulphated mucopolysaccharides in the mucous cells, while the sacciform granular club cells were found to be proteinaceous, with a small amount of lipids and phospholipids. The dermis is composed of a stratum laxum and a stratum compactum. The subcutis was found to consist of loosely arranged collagen fibres and fat cells.
湄公河鲶（Ham.）的皮肤是典型的鲶形目鱼类皮肤，没有任何鳞片。在表皮中发现了大量的黏液细胞和囊状颗粒细胞，其间散布着味蕾。组织化学测试表明黏液细胞中存在弱硫酸化的黏多糖，而囊状颗粒棒状细胞被发现含有蛋白质，还有少量脂质和磷脂。真皮由疏松层和致密层组成。皮下组织由排列松散的胶原纤维和脂肪细胞组成。
