The histopathological effects of Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate on the gill, liver and kidney tissues of the Caspian kutum, Rutilus frisii kutum were studied. The fish were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of anionic detergent, Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) for short term intervals (192 h). Gill, liver and kidney samples were collected after 192 h of exposure to LAS and lesions we...

Histopathology provides a rapid method to detect effects of irritants and pathogens in different organs and it can be considered as the indicator for abnormal condition for fish environment. The present study was initiated to record the histopathological lesions of gill and skin associated with external parasites in two common aquarium fish, Oscar (Astronotus ocellatus) and Discus (Symphysodon ...

Ayu Plecoglossus altivelis were experimentally infected with Flavobacterium psychrophilum, which is the causative agent of bacterial cold water disease (CWD). The fish infected by immersion usually died within an hour after they became moribund. The blood volume and haematocrit values of moribund fish were low, while those values of many infected fish that were not moribund were in the range of...

The toxic effect of chromium on the histology of gill and liver of Labeo rohita fingerlings was studied. The fingerlings were exposed for 10, 20 and 30 days in 10% sublethal concentration of 96 h LC50 of chromium (3.5 ppm). The gills exposed to sublethal concentration of chromium showed mild histological alterations during 10 days of exposure. However after 30 days, fusion of gill lamellae, hyp...

The impact of microbial gill infestations on the pathology and physiology of the freshwater crab Potamonautes warreni was investigated by comparison of infested and uninfested crab populations from, respectively, a polluted and an unpolluted site along the Mooi River, North West Province, South Africa. Heavy gill infestations by bacteria (70%), peritrichous ciliates such as Lagenophrys sp. (15%...

copper sulfate is one of the most important pollutant in aquaculture systems. the aim of the present study was of the histopathological changes of some organs of common carp. copper sulphate can be considered as a toxic agent for fish.the effect of copper sulphate at 0. 0 1 mg/l as a constant bath was studied on common carp (cyprinus carpio) weighing about 100g. at 19±1°c for one month. tissue ...

The original description of Myxobolus longisporus Nie et Li, 1992, the species infecting gills of Cyprinus carpio haematopterus L., is supplemented with new data on the spore morphology and pathogenicity. Spores are elongate pyriform with pointed anterior end, 15.7 (15.5-16.5) microm long, 6.7 (6-8) microm wide and 5.5 microm thick. Sutural ridge is straight and narrow. Mucus envelope is lackin...
