Abstract

The embryos of the pikeperch, Stizostedion lucioperca L., were incubated continuously from fertilisation, at 7.2-7.4 (control) and 5.0-5.2, at 14-16°C. The subsequent larvae in these environments were maintained at these levels for 7 days after hatching. The investigations revealed histopathological changes caused by low pH level in the cells and tissues of the following organs: integument, brain, eye, heart, gill, intestine and yolk sac.
