Abstract

Since the environmental problems in Pranburi River Estuary (PRE), Thailand have been continuously documented, the impact of this situation above on the aquatic organisms are scantly. In this study, the testicular structure and health assessment of testis in the girdled horn shell Cerithidea cingulata, as the most commone gastropod, living near the human activity along the PRE, using histopathology as biomarker were investigated. All samples were collected from three times during annual period (Fabuary, June and November 2017) (n = 20 per sampling time) with shell length ranging 3.5-4 cm. After dissected whole body, they were performed using the routine histological examination. The results from our observation revealed that all samples showed as the testicular maturation because of containing in several spermatozoa. Within the seminiferous tubule, the Sertoli-like cell and spermatogenic differentiation classifying into the spermatogonium to spermatozoon were recorded. A few histopathological alterations including the pyknotic nuclei and degeneration of the spermatogonia were also noted.
