Sažetak
Most prevalent and abundant parasites acquired during the migration of bluefin tuna (BFT) belong to Didymozoidae family, however little data is available about their pathological effect once the fish are brought and reared in off shore cages. During the harvesting period of bluefin tuna in January 2004, from the facility on the NW part of Island of Brač, 50 bluefin tuna were eviscerated and weighted and five members of Didymozoidae were isolated - Coeliodidymocystis abdominalis, Didymocystis wedli, Koellikerioides internogastricus, Koellikerioides intestinalis and Koellikerioides apicalis. Tuna reaction to Didymozoidae infections was the formation and the organization of a connective tissue envelope that firmly surrounded the parasite’ cyst. Based on histological examination, isolated Didymozoid cysts do not elict intensive tissue reaction that would lead to inflammatory changes, however the level of changes differed with the type of tissu
