Observations were made on the infected intestine of Pomadasys olivaceum by trematodes. Standard techniques were used for microanatomical preparations. Histopathological sections revealed excess mucous secretion due to this infection, foci of necrosis and inflammatory reactions were prominent. Hypertrophy of lamina propria is an important finding with keratinized serosal region. In severely effected area where parasite was physically present whole morphological architecture deviated from the normal.
