Abstract
In the present investigation an attempt has been made to study the effect of starvation on the immune organs viz., thymus, head kidney and spleen of fish, Labeo boga for the experimental period of 60 days. On the basis of this research, the author has made an observation that this natural stressor (starvation) induced various alterations in the immune organs of the present fish at the cellular level. Prolonged starvation has been found to result in structural abnormalities as well as immunosuppressive effect on immune organs of fish, Labeo boga. It therefore means that health status of the fish gets drastically affected under prolonged starvation thereby reducing its quality as well as quantity.
