Osteology of Feeding Apparatus of Rohtee Ogilbii(Sykes,1839) From Nira River Bhor(Maharashtra)

Abstract

There are large variations within the construction and working of the alimentary apparatus within various species, habitat, and ingesting habits of any organism. Fish feed is a major liable for their nourishment and development of the species, alteration inside the environmental Opportunité along with eutrophication as well as anthropogenic sports have an effect on fish species and additionally have an effect on food availability. To understand the digestive apparatus, morphological studies in the digestive tract of fish had been carried on Rohtee ogilbii (Sykes, 1839). The alimentary canal is separated into the subsequent regions namely, the buccal hollow space (mouth) followed via the orobranchial hollow space which opens up into the esophagus. The esophagus opens up into the stomach which leads into the   intestines and retained the anus. The gut suggests four folds coiled and related with mesenteries. In this study osteology of the buccal cavity of  Rohtee ogilbii ( Sykes, 1839) the mouth is terminal. The upper jaw, as well as the lower jaw, is devoid of teeth in both the fishes under study. The upper jaw shows an absence of teeth, palatine teeth were absent. The lower jaw shows strong dentary which is broader at the distal end while tapering towards the proximal end, it shows an absence of teeth. All gill arches imply the absence of denticles. Ceratobranchial V suggests the presence of a six oval-formed enamel plate positioned on the ventral side of the oropharyngeal hollow space.
