Identification of Different Types of Haemocytes in Freshwater Crab Paratelphusa Masoniana (Henderson)

For the first time haematological studies on freshwater crab P. masoniana (Henderson) has been carried out in Jammu, India. The aim of studies were to determine various type of hemocytes, their total and differential count as well. Based on morphological studies of hemocytes under microscope three types of haemocytes were identified viz., Hyalinocytes (H), Semigranulocytes (SG) and Granulocytes (G). These cells were varied with respect to their proportion, Semigranulocytes being the heighest (54%) follow by Granulocytes (30%) while Hyalinocytes were least (16%) among three cells.

The aim of studies were to determine various type of hemocytes, their total and differential count as well. Based on morphological studies of hemocytes under microscope three types of haemocytes were identified viz., Hyalinocytes (H), Semigranulocytes (SG) and Granulocytes (G).
