Abstract
The aim of this study was to obtain the information about kidney evolution in Huso huso. According to the results on the 1st (day of post hatching (dph)), the pronephros with collecting canal and hemato-poietic tissue was distinguished. On the 3rd (dph), the primordial mesonephric tubules, rounded cell clusters, and a primary coelom cavity were observed. On the 6th (dph), the pronephros was gradually degenerated and changed to mesonephros. On the 15th (dph), the collecting canal was resembled as a small canal, and three parts, head, body, and caudal, could be distinguished in the kidney. The tubules were differentiated to proximal, distal, and collecting tubules. On the 21st (dph), the structure was similar to the 15th (dph), but with decrease of hemato-poietic tissue and developed of renal corpuscles. SPSS ANOVA version 19 was used for statistical analysis. According to stereological results in H. huso from the 1st (dph) to 21st (dph), the total volume of kidney was significantly increased (P < 0.05).
