Abstract

This research was conducted on digestive system of Java carp (Puntius javanicus). Gut of fish samples was processed for histological preparation, stained with periodic acid shiff’s (PAS) staining.The results of this research showed that the properties of mucus cells in the digestive tract of Java carp was comprised of goblet cells. The total number of goblet cells in the mid gut was higher than that of in the foregut and hindgut. Morphology of goblet cells in the foregut and hindgut was round in shape but spherical on the midgut.

Effect of Feed Combination of Avocado (Persea americana M.) and Pumpkin Seed (Cucurbita moschata Duch.) on Villi Height and Goblet Cell Number of Goblet Fish (Osphronemus gourami Lac.)

“…The increasing number of Goblet cells is thought to be an adaptation of the intestinal epithelium in helping the digestive process in that part of the intestine. Goblet cells that increase in number help the digestive process of the type of food eaten and the type of environment in which the fish live (Purbomartono et al, 2004).…”
