The postembryonic development of the asp, Leuciscusaspius (Linnaeus, 1758) pseudobranch using the technique of histological section and microscopy was done. The morphometricand histological analyses revealed that the morphology of asp pseudobranch changes during early ontogeny of larvae. Histological observations indicated that the pseudobranch was the lamellae-free type just after hatch, then lamellae are fused but the filaments stay free. Generally, the basic structure of the pseudobranch of asp larvae since 14 dph consisted of several rows of parallel lamellae. From 14 dphpseudobranch cells, pillar cells, epithelial cells and lacunar tissue were noted in the asp larvae pseudobranch. Neither chloride cells nor mucus cells were present at this structure, similarly to other fish species possessing covered type of pseudobranch.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
