Seasonal Variations in Haematological Parameters of Hill Stream Fish, Garra Gotyla Gotyla from Jhajjar Stream of Jammu Region, India

Seasonal variation in total erythrocyte count (TEC), Haemoglobin level (Hb), Haematocrit (Hct), Differential leucocyte count (DLC), Total leucocyte count (TLC), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were determined in hill stream fish, Garra gotyla gotyla from Jhajjjar stream of Jammu region, J&K India. Presently RBC dependent parameters viz. TEC, Hb and Hct exhibit a marked increase (P<0.01) during spring and summer season. TLC in tune with RBC dependent parameters also depicted a significant increase (P<0.01) during the spring and summer season. Whereas an increase in the calculated values of RBC, MCV and MCH has been observed from monsoon to winter season. MCHC showed an increase during the hot period of the year.

Abstract


Seasonal variation in total erythrocyte count (TEC), Haemoglobin level (Hb), Haematocrit (Hct), Differential leucocyte count (DLC), Total leucocyte count (TLC), Mean corpuscular volume (MCV), Mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and Mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC) were determined in hill stream fish, Garra gotyla gotyla from Jhajjjar stream of Jammu region, J&K India. Presently RBC dependent parameters viz. TEC, Hb and Hct exhibit a marked increase (P<0.01) during spring and summer season. TLC in tune with RBC dependent parameters also depicted a significant increase (P<0.01) during the spring and summer season. Whereas an increase in the calculated values of RBC, MCV and MCH has been observed from monsoon to winter season. MCHC showed an increase during the hot period of the year.
