Abstract
Fasting (short or long term) is an important factor influencing physiological changes in immunity, survival and growth. During starvation, the most important processes in fish are supported by the accumulated nutrients. Structural components of the gastrointestinal tract and associated organs respond differently to food deprivation. We found that fasting had a profound effect on intestinal histology, which ultimately led to malabsorption and transport. In particular, there was hyperplasia of goblet cells, a decrease in the height of prismatic epitheliocytes with degeneration of microvilli on their apical surface. In some situations, fusion of the intestinal folds was detected. It should be noted that this issue has been poorly studied in the available domestic literature.
