“…The correlation analysis revealed an association of fish size with MCV and MCHC. The reverse effect of fish size on MCHC levels in the present study is similar to the results observed in Caspian salmon Salmo trutta caspius (Jamalzadeh and Ghomi 2009). However, it has been reported in some fish species that larger individuals exhibit higher values of MCHC and MCV (Ranzani-Paiva et al 2004).…”

“…Seasonal changes in RBC counts generally occur because of the effect of temperature (Martinez et al 1994;Frangioni et al 1997;Olsen et al 1999) and oxygen concentration (Denton and Yousef 1975;Jewet et al 1991). Decreased numbers of RBCs during winter were reported in some fish species including tench (Guijarro et al 2003) and Caspian salmon Salmo trutta caspius (Jamalzadeh and Ghomi 2009). Reduction in RBC counts during cold seasons can occur in response to low temperatures that change metabolic as well as hormonal activities, which in turn reduce erythropoietic production (Lane 1979;Zanuy and Carrillo 1985).…”

The pattern of haematology and blood biochemistry variations of healthy adult female kutum Rutilus frisii kutum (Cyprinidae) was investigated in the three reproductive states: maturing (autumn), pre-spawning (winter), and spawning (spring). Red blood cells, haemoglobin, and haematocrit were highest in autumn, whereas the highest values for white blood cells, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), and mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) were observed in winter. With the exception of MCV and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), fish size had no effect on haematological and biochemical parameters. MCV was higher in larger fish, whereas the reverse trend was found for MCHC. Decreased levels of plasma glucose, cholesterol, and triglyceride in the pre-spawning period, when female ovaries were developing, may have been due to the combination of reproductive effects and food shortage in winter. Total protein levels were lower during the maturing period than during the pre-spawning period. The results of this study suggest that temporal variations in haematological and biochemical parameters of blood are significant and should be considered when these parameters are used to assess fish health status.

“…During the age study, RBC, WBC, Hb, and Ht were lower in 6-month-old fish than in fish of other ages. In caspian brown trout, Salmo trutta caspius, the levels of Hb, RBC, MCHC, monocytes, neutrophils, and eosinophils were higher in adult fish in comparison with fish of other ages (Jamalzadeh and Ghomi 2009). However, the levels of Ht, WBC, MCV, MCH, and lymphocytes were greater in smolt than in fish of other ages (Jamalzadeh and Ghomi 2009).…”

That RBC and Hb levels tend to increase with the length and age of fish also corresponds with the results of our study (Clarks et al 1979).…”

The aim of this study was to assess the changes in hematological and plasma indices of Ctenopharyngodon idella (Val.) with regard to age, sex, and hormonal treatment. Sixty specimens of C. idella, comprising fifteen of each age (6, 12, 24, and 36 months) were used to evaluate the age factor. Additionally, 20 fish, both females and males, were designated to determine blood indices with regard to sex and hormonal treatment. The following biochemical indexes were determined in the blood plasma: glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and total protein (TP). Glucose and triglyceride levels differed significantly among ages, and significant age-related differences were noted in the values of red blood cell (RBC), white blood cell (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC). There were no significant differences in any parameters between males and females. In conclusion, our results showed that the plasma parameter profile could be affected by age (RBC, WBC, Hb, MCV, MCH, MCHC, glucose, triglycerides) and hormonal treatment (lymphocytes and eosinophils). The blood plasma biochemical and hematological profiles permitted assessing physiological state, which provided useful information for monitoring changes in the health status of the fish.

“…1951 and Ostrumova, 1960), sex (Callazos et al, 1998), season (Jamalzadeh and Ghomi, 2009) and size of the fish (Sharma and Joshi, 1985). Inspite of the vast number of reports on the haematological parameters of different fish species, only a few studies have investigated the relationship between the haematological parameters and aspects of fish biology such as body size, age, season, sex etc.…”

Studies made on two minor carps, L. boga and L. bata of varying length groups depicted that certain haematological parameters viz., Total erythrocyte count (TEC), Total leucocyte count (TLC), Haemoglobin (Hb), Haematocrit (Hct) and Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) rise with their increasing age and size while Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) values declined in higher age and size groups. In the differential leucocyte count (DLC), agranulocytes (monocytes and lymphocytes) and granulocytes viz., neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils increased with increasing age and size of both the fish species.
