In this study variety of gill lesions of rainbow trout were studied in cold water fish farm. This study has been carried out on 30 samples from 2 farms of rainbow trout culture (2 of extensive culture farm) in Kohgiluyeh Boyer Ahmad province.After gross examination, for microscopic study, a 1×1×1 piece of gill was separated and immediately fixed in 10%neutral buffered formalin.Then processed routinely and embedded in paraffin and cut with microtom in thickness 5 μm, and stained with Hematoxylin – Eosin.Histopathological study revealed 27% edema and hyperemia. However other microscopic lesion including of hypertrophy (20%), telangiectasia(10%), inflammation of the basal membrane of secondary lamella(10%), hyperplasia and fusion of secondary lamella(13%) and clubbing(10%) in some cases in the gill were also seen. In 17% of 30 specimens,there were no lesions in gills.
