Haematological and serum biochemical parameters are a valuable tool in determining the wellbeing status of different fish species and response in close association to various biological and environmental factors, therefore the aim of the present study was to establish sex-wise reference values of haemato-biochemical parameters of S. labiatus. The haematological parameters such as haemoglobin (Hb) concentration, total erythrocyte count (RBC), total leucocyte count (WBC), packed cell volume (PCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and serum biochemical parameters such as glucose, cholesterol, urea, total protein, albumin and globulin were analysed. The results revealed that the haematological parameters, i.e., Hb, RBC, WBC and PCV showed significant (P < 0.05) differences with respect to sex. Significantly (P < 0.05) higher values of Hb content (11.18 g dl −1 ), RBC count (1.88 × 10 6 mm −3 ) and PCV (36.15%) were noted in male fish than females throughout the study period, while significantly (P < 0.05) higher WBC count was noted in females (20.38 × 10 3 mm −3 ) compared to males. However, no significant (P > 0.05) difference was observed in erythrocyte indices like MCH, MCHC and MCV between sexes. The serum biochemical parameters, i.e., glucose, cholesterol and urea, also showed significant (P < 0.05) difference between the sexes, but no significant (P > 0.05) difference was noticed in total protein, albumin and globulin. Significantly (P < 0.05) highest values of glucose (116.76 mg dl −1 ) and urea (9.01 mg dl −1 ) were recorded in male S. labiatus, while highest value of cholesterol (223.53 mg dl −1 ) was noted in females. The information generated in the present study gives the basic reference values of haematological and serum biochemical parameters of S. labiatus which will be useful in monitoring the wellbeing status of fish populations. Moreover, the data will also be helpful to ascertain the occurrence of different clinical and subclinical diseases, which may in turn help to boost the overall production of this species.

“…This physiological characteristic may explain the higher serum levels of total proteins, urea, glucose, triglycerides and AST found in younger L. alexandri . However, Okoye et al (2016) found lower levels of ALT, AST, total proteins, cholesterol and triglycerides for older Clarias gariepinus . Nutritional and environmental differences can also have a strong influence on serum biochemistry in fish (Zhou et al, 2009).…”

Biochemical parameters of fish are important indicators of homeostasis as they represent an organism's response to the environment. Lophiosilurus alexandri is an endemic and endangered species of the São Francisco River in Brazil with potential for aquaculture; however, blood biochemical studies of this species are scarce. The present study compared blood biochemical parameters of male and female L. alexandri, at four different ages. The following analytes were evaluated: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), calcium, chlorine, magnesium, total proteins, albumin, urea, glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol. Male fish had higher values than females for ALT at 372 days after hatching (DAH), magnesium at 481 DAH and triglycerides at 372 and 481 DAH (p < 0.05). The other analytes did not differ significantly (p > 0.05) between males and females at any of the collection times. The results allow us to conclude that biochemical differences between males and females are less pronounced than those observed among different ages of the same sex.
