Starvation and refeeding effects on pyloric caeca structure of Caspian salmon (Salmo trutta caspius, Kessler 1877) juvenile.

Effect of starvation and refeeding on the structure of pyloric caeca was studied in the juveniles of Caspian Sea salmon. Juveniles (average body weight 12±0.1g) were subjected to four levels of feeding: full-fed for 6 weeks (FFF), 3 weeks fed and 3 weeks following starvation (FS), 3 weeks starved and 3 weeks fed (SF), and full-starved (SSS) for 6 weeks.
