Exposure to low-energy ultrasound shock waves (1000 impulses at a frequency of 2/sec and an energy density of 0.08 mj/mm2; peak positive/negative pressure 16/-7 MPa; pulse duration about 10 musec) led to the following alterations in the cells and tissues of stage 35 embryos of Oryzias latipes ranked according to their extent: (1) In various tissues, especially in the trunk musculature, orthodox mitochondria were transformed into condensed (= low energy) mitochondria. (2) Nuclear envelopes and sarcoplasmatic reticulum of muscle fibres as well as endoplasmatic reticulum of epidermal ionocytes were often vesicularly dilated. (3) Muscle fibres in the trunk musculature began to separate from each other. Epidermal intercellular spaces were enlarged and increased in number. (4) Destruction of vessels and haematomas were observed in the circulatory system of the yolk sac. (5) Necroses up to total disintegration were found in various organs of the body cavity (intestine, liver, spleen). The less serious alterations (1 and 2) occurred in organs completely surrounded by other tissues. Major damages (4 and 5), however, affected only organs with free outer and inner surfaces, probably explained by cavitation and jet stream phenomena within the adjacent fluids.
