Comparative investigation on haematological and biochemical studies on wild marine teleost fishes from Vellar estuary, southeast coast of India

Haematological parameters are often used to assess the health status and as stress indicators in fishes. In this present study, the haematological parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC), haematocrit (HCT), haemoglobin (HB), mean cell volume, mean cell haemoglobin...

Description
Summary:Haematological parameters are often used to assess the health status and as stress indicators in fishes. In this present study, the haematological parameters such as red blood cell count (RBC), white blood cell count (WBC), haematocrit (HCT), haemoglobin (HB), mean cell volume, mean cell haemoglobin and mean cell haemoglobin concentration, RBC/WBC ratio, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and biochemical such as serum glucose (GLU), protein (PRO), cholesterol and urea (UR) of seven teleost fish species were determined. Statistical analysis confirmed that differences in haematological parameters between all the species were ( P
