Photomicrograph of the cross-section of P. clarkii hepatopancreas stained with hematoxylin and eosin stain (H&E) showing: A- normal tissues in the control group. Tubules(T); lumen(l); Intertubular tissue(IT); and central, spherical nuclei(N). B- affected hepatopancreas tubules with heavy metals of collected P. clarkii from El-Gharbia showing irregular lumen (l); the basal lamina was rippled and connective tissue (CT); within the inter-tubular space. C- P. clarkii hepatopancreas from El-Monofia showed, that epithelial cells were eroded with vaculation and hemolytic infiltration was observed (Arrow). D- collected P. clarkii from Kafr- El- Sheikh showing atrophied epithelium(A); necrosis (n); lumen erosion and hyperplasia vaculation (V)
