Histopathology of Some Diseased Fishes

چکیده
A study on the histopathology of some diseased fishes was carried out during the period from July 2005 to June 2006 in the Institute of Biological Sciences, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi. Symptoms of diseases of different fish species showed variation among the species and its distribution. The parasites were first found to settled on the body surface and tip of the gills of fishes and attach themselves on the surface by their powerful sucking devices. From the histopathological observations it appeared that gills and body surface were the main infested areas and gill filaments were damaged by the parasites. The histochemical studies showed that the disease caused extensive damages to the blood elements by rupturing blood capillaries, causing necrosis, coagulation and haemorrhage.

The aim of this work was to study the effects of sub-lethal exposure of lead acetate on the histopathology of the gills, liver, kidney and muscle and its accumulation in these organs of Clarias gariepinus. Results showed that lead accumulation in the tissues of C. gariepinus was dependent on the exposure period and lead concentration. Gills and liver were the predominant storage tissue and the ...

Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are major benthic calcifiers that play crucial roles in marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs. Over the past two decades, epizootics have been reported for several CCA species on coral reefs worldwide. However, their causes remain often unknown in part because few studies have investigated CCA pathologies at a microscopic scale. We studied the cellular chang...
متن کاملHybrids in fishes and their identification using microsatellite DNA markers: A review
Among vertebrates, most of the fishes are unique for the lack of acrosome in their spermatozoa. The sperm enters the egg through micropyle of the egg. This has facilitated heterologous fertilization in many fishes and led to hybridization and polyploidization. Hybridization is performed both in the nature and domesticated fishes. Today, some of the hybrids have high growth rate than their paren...

The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of metacercarial infection in plathyfish imported to Iran. A total of 100 imported live common platyfish (Xiphophorus maculatus) from approximately 24 shipments were collected from a quarantine facility in Iran in 2007 and examined in our veterinary laboratory. Among 800 examined gill arches about 1300 cysts were found in different loc...
