glycogen gene

It has to do with how the MRC cells function within the gills I bet. The gills absorb the oxygen from the water as it passes over, the MRC's allow for a greater absorption of oxygen when/where other species can't. That's how chlorine kills, it burns the gills, this is why fish gasp or pip for air. They are still "breathing" but not getting anything. Similar to altitude sickness in people that way.

glycogen gene

It's much larger than a gene; you are several levels too small. It's larger than mitochondria (an organelle) and smaller than the epithelial tissue (tissue).

It's 2 words; so, you are on the right track. You can get 1 word right off the bat. What is larger than a organelle and smaller than tissue?

I AM GIVING TOO MANY HINTS TOO FAST...

I didn't use relevant terminology in the question because you guys would google fu it too fast.
