Description
Hematological parameters have been recognized as valuable tools for monitoring fish health. Hematological and serum biochemical parameters were studied and compared between four marine carnivorous fish. Statistical analysis revealed that differences in hematological parameters between marine carnivorous fish were significant (P<0.01). The result revealed that hematological red blood cells (RBC)/white blood cells (WBC) ratio, mean corpuscular volume, and mean cell hemoglobin concentration were significantly correlated at the P<0.05 level. The RBC/ WBC level increased due to the decrease in WBC during the study. Serum biochemical parameters can be used for confirming the maturity and monitoring any changes in the quality of waters and related soils.
