Haematological changes in freshwater fish Wallago attu infected with Cestode parasites
Keywords:
Haematology, Cestode infection, Freshwater fishAbstract
This study involved 80 freshwater fish of Genus Wallago attu, captured from Kaigaontoka. In collected fish, parasite fauna was found. Changes in hematological parameters were also studied between infected and noninfected fish. Haematocrit, haemoglobin concentration, erythrocyte and leukocyte counts, mean cell volume (MCV), mean cell haemoglobin, mean cell haemoglobin concentration lymphocytes, monocytes, and eosinophils were all measured. Few differences were identified between infected and uninfected freshwater fish Wallago attu.
