Pattern of changes in viscera of shemaah ( Chalcalburnus chalcoides Gyeldenstadt) under artificial cultivation

Abstract

Structure of the shemaah females internal (intestine, liver, gills, ovary, heart) is subjected to histological examination in order to understand the state influence on their offspring. Some pato-morphological changes are revealed, as edema, necrosis, microvascular disorders, including hemorrhage and massive deposits of hemosiderin granules, catarrhal enteritis in the intestine, symptoms of hepatitis in the liver, cardiomyopathy of the heart, distortion of the eggs shape, proliferation of lamellar uncornified epithelial filaments and respiratory epithelium in the gills. These changes relate mostly to protective and adaptive reactions.
