Abstract

Development of ovary and oocyte along with male gonad testis of the freshwater fishes was observed .When rearing 51 day-old Cyprinius carpio at elevated sub-lethal temperatures to (control), 28 and 34°C (experimental) was exposed no death was observed, but the ovarian dimensions differed significantly (F=5.25cm, DF=3, P 30°C or 32°C treatments were less dense. Testicular cross-section areas were significantly (T=5.11cm, DF=3, P>0.05), different among all groups at the conclusion of the temperature treatments at 27 °C and 30 °C

Keywords: Temperature (28 to 32 °C); ovary; testis; MBB-stain
