    Abstract:

    The morphology and histology of the digestive tract of wild and cultivated Yellowfin Black Porgy (Sparus latus) were studied using routine method of paraffin tissue section. The results showed that there were some differences between the two populations. Morphological observations showed that oesophagus was crude and short, and the V-shaped stomach was divided into three portions: cardiac stomach, fundic stomach and pyloric stomach. There were four pyloric caeca, and intestine was detoured two inflections in the body cavity. In wild fish, the teeth were harder and sharper, the fat in the body cavity was less, and the digestive tract was cruder and shorter. The average intestinal coefficients of the wild and cultivated Yellowfin Black Porgy were 0.71±0.03 and 0.94±0.12, respectively. Histological observations showed that mucous epithelium of oesophagus was composed of pinacocyte layer and goblet cell layer with rich goblet cells. Stomach had a single-layered columnar epithelium, without goblet cells. The gastric gland was developed in the cardiac stomach and fundic stomach. The histological features of pyloric caeca were similar to those of intestine, with columnar epithelium and less goblet cells. Meanwhile the distribution trend of goblet cells in the whole intestine was: foregut > midgut > hindgut and cultivated fish > wild fish. There were more goblet cells in rectum than in intestine. The major histological differences between wild and cultivated Yellowfin Black Porgy were that there were more goblet cells in the same part of digestive tract in cultivated fish than in wild fish, while the muscular coat was thicker in wild fish than in cultivated fish. It could be concluded that the differences of digestive tract between the two populations relied on their different living conditions and foods.
