Abstract: The rich aquatic fauna of Assam especially the fishes often face the challenge of parasitic infestation. Channapunctata is often infected by different parasites which lead to different physiological changes. In present study, histological structure of gill, liver and kidney of parasite infested Channapunctata is studied. The liver of the infested fish showed vacuolar degeneration, necrosis and extensive tissue damage near portal vein. Gills showed degenerative and necrotic changes of gill lamellae, mucus cell and also epithelium detachment. Kidney also showed sign of infection, vacuole formation and tissue damage. The infestation also affects the behavior and growth of fish.
