THE SEQUENTIAL DIFFERENTIATION AND FORMATION OF HEPATIC AND PANCREATIC STRUCTURES IN ASP (ASPIUS ASPIUS L.) LARVAE

Teresa Ostaszewska

 

ABSTRACT



The study focussed on differentiation of hepatic and pancreatic cells in asp (Aspius aspius L.) larvae during early ontogeny (1–21 days post hatch). Histological evaluations and histochemical assays showed the asp liver and pancreas to commence functioning almost simulatenously, between the third and the fifth day of larval life.

Key words: fish, asp, larvae, liver, pancreas..
