Abstract |
The aim of this study was
to find the effect of different water temperatures on haematological
parameters of common carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total 16 common
carp having mean weight 210.2±15gm and length 22±1cm were exposed to
three different temperatures (15, 25, 32 and 38°C) for 12 days. The
results indicated that red blood cells (RBC),
haemoglobin (Hb) and mean corpuscular heamoglobin (MCH) concentration
increased significantly (P<0.05) at 38°C. A significant drop in white
blood count (WBC) and lymphocyte was observed at 15°C. From the result
of the present study, we concluded that at higher temperature (38°C),
there is an increased in RBC and Hb concentration and a drop in WBC and
lymphocyte count at lower temperature (15 °C).
