Fifty-six specimens of amphibious (Periophthalmus chrysospilos) and 67 specimens of nonamphibious gobies (Favonigobius reichei) were collected from Sepang estuary (Malaysia). Gills and skins were dissected out and samples were treated following the standard electron microscopy sample preparation. P. chrysospilos possesses short, thick, bent and twisted gill filaments whereas the F. reichei has long, thin, and straight filaments. There were differences in shapes and numbers of the secondary lamellae attached to the filaments in P. chrysospilos and F. reichei. The skin of F. reichei also has a significant difference in architectural build-up compared to P. chrysospilos
