“…Males are more active and aggressive than the female, which, is in agreement with Smith et al (7) . Hb concentration in different fishes living in similar water bodies may vary with each other considerably, but the variation in the same species is very little.…”

This study evaluated the haematological profile of air breathing Thai and indigenous male and female climbing perch (in Bangla, koi) Anabus testudineus to improve understanding the differences between two strains at blood parameters level. Haemoglobin (Hb), haematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), erythrocyte red blood cells (RBC) or erythrocytes, lymphocytes, monocytes, neutrophils and eosinophils were identified by mythic 18 automated haematology analyzer. Most haematological parameters indicated significant (p < 0.05) intra species sex variations. Higher Hb concentration, RBC counts and HCT percentages were found in Thai and indigenous males compared to their counterparts but higher MCH values, WBC counts and ESR levels were detected in both Thai and indigenous females than in the males. Similar concentration of Hb was detected in the same sex between fish. In contrast, higher level of ESR was observed in both female than did the males. Total counts of RBC observed in both Thai and indigenous male was significantly higher than in the females. MCV was found higher in indigenous male and female than in Thai one. However, no significant differences were observed in neutrophils, lymphocytes and eosinophils. Findings of this study showed sex variations in the haematological parameters between Thai and indigenous climbing perch.

“…The fish were then placed belly upwards and blood samples obtained from the caudal circulation with the aid of a heparinized 2 cm disposable plastic syringe and a 21 gauge disposable hypodermic needle. The use of plastic syringe is a necessary precaution with fish blood because contact with glass results in decreased coagulation time [17]. The site chosen for puncture (about 3 to 4cm from the genital opening) was wiped dry with tissue paper to avoid contamination with mucus.…”

Abstract. The blood creatinine, some blood enzymes, glutamic oxaloacetic tranaminase (SGOT) and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) have been determined in four locally available Indian carp fishes such as Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhanus mrigala and Labeo fimbriatus to assess the kidney functioning in these fishes in relation to the aquatic body and their successful survival. The results indicate that the blood creatinine level is low with more or less uniform values in all the four species of fish. The higher values were observed for the two blood enzymes (SGPT and SGOT) in all the four types of fishes compared to the fish Notopterus notopterus from our earlier studies and also reported in other fishes. Thus indicating normal functioning of kidneys and other organs in all the four types of fishes studied which are healthy and are probably not stressed.

Temperature of aquatic environment is important for ensuring the normal metabolism of aquatic animals. It also affects blood vascular system of aquatic organisms. The present paper deals with the influence of temperature on the hemoglobin content of freshwater fish, Channa punctatus. The freshwater fish, Channa punctatus, were collected from Godavari River, Nanded (Maharashtra). The fishes were exposed to different temperatures viz. 15°, 20°, 25°, 30°, 35° and 40° C. The total hemoglobin contents were observed at different temperature stress. The values were compared with the fish's acclimated to ambient temperature. The haemoglobin content was found to be increased as temperature increases. The total hemoglobin content was found to be decreased as temperature decreases.
