The hepatocytic arrangement in this study differed from the mammalian type by lacking lobules ,trabeculae and portal triads. The diffuse to radial arrangement has been reported in other teleosts [9,22]. Thisdiffuse arrangement may help in the rate of liver functions especially that of detoxification and metabolitestorage, as more cells will be reached faster in an aquatic environment that ingestion of food and water is veryfrequent. But this may also quickly expose the liver to injurious materials –thus making it the organ of choice inresearches on teleosts toxicology, histopathologies and nutritional status [9,10,23]. The polyhedral shapedhepatocytes and their rosette-like arrangement around the central vein of this species has been reported in otherteleosts [24,25]. Liver sinosoids containing erythrocytes has been reported and may suggest active involvementof the liver in blood circulation [24]. These sinusoids are for easy exchange of materials between the vascularsystem and hepatocytes [5]. The PAS positive result that became negative after diastase treatment indicates thepresence of glycogen. This correlates with earlier documented researches of the liver being involved in glycogenstorage [5, 26, 27].
