Effect of starvation on haemopoietic organs of fish Labeo boga

Dr. Sheetu Raina, Dr. Anupriya Sachar

The present study examined the histological response induced by food deprivation in a fish, Labeo boga inhabiting Jammu waters. Stress of prolonged starvation results in alterations in the histological architecture of the haemopoietic organs viz., liver, head kidney and spleen leading to their dysfunctioning. Liver exhibited necrosis, distended sinusoids besides total degeneration. Kidney Showed tubular vacuolation and necrosis while necrosis and deposition of haemosiderin pigments were the causatives observed among splenic tissue during the experimental period of 60 days
