Hepatocellular steatosis as a response to nutritional stressors in Lutjanus guttatus (Steindachner, 1869) grown in floating cages: a case study

ABSTRACT This paper describes histological findings in the liver of Lutjanus guttatus after an acute mortality event in fish cultivated by river fishermen from Colima, Mexico, who were making their first attempt to cultivate this species. During 187 days, divided into two stages, 20,000 juveniles (6...
