The morphological structure of the liver and pancreas of Atlantic cod juvenile (Gadus morthua L.) in artificial culture

Morphological features of digestive glands of Atlantic cod at early stages of ontogenesis have been studied. It has been shown that difference between liver and pancreas structure of juvenile cod depends on environmental conditions as well as quality and amount of food. The investigations have shown that development of the liver and pancres begins at the early stages of ontogenesis after beginning of exogenous feeding and development of gastric glands. Glycogen storage in the liver cells could be an adaptation which increases survival of the breed under unfavourable feeding conditions.
