Haematobiochemical Parametrs of Fishes of Preferential Nutritional Habits
This study compares the haematobiochemical parameters of fishes of different food habits, viz. Labeo rohita (herbivore), Channa striatus (carnivore), Clarias batrachus (omnivore) and Cirrhinus reba (detrivore). Statistical analyses reveal the significant differences in haematobiochemical parameters like haemoglobin, red blood cell, packed cell volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin and while blood cells with respect to nutritional habits. The monocytes have been observed to vary significantly at P < 0.001 level, mean corpuscular volume deviates at P < 0.05, whereas both eosinophils and albumin show significant variation at P < 0.01 level. Haematobiochemical parameters have been regarded as a valuable tool for monitoring the health of fish.
